reposting their graph:

UBI is genuinely the only path forward. A stronger social safety net bureaucracy political advocacy/candidacy usually comes with a warmongering priority above that.

UBI solves homelessness automatically for instance. Cities that have generous conditional programs for the homeless, create an incentive to become homeless, and invite people from rest of world to come to your city to enjoy the programs. Conditional programs add an expense/layer to police for the conditionality. They are divisive in that manufacturing anger against people receiving conditional aid is so exceptionally easy.
