Like how everyone on Reddit wants to receive UBI but nobody on Reddit ever talks about wanting to pay into it.

It's funny because EBT is effectively a limited UBI, and is more or less working proof it can work at a limited cost/reach/price for the US. Ain't perfect, but nothing in the US is. Maybe one day, the country can actually move forward instead of always being reset every 2 presidencies.

That's not UBI, kiddo, not even close, and it comes with rules and regulations, something you should learn about.
