    I’m not debating the merits of UBI. All I’m saying is UBI is, by definition, unconditional.

      Maybe. But given the unreasonable approach of a radical UBI I thought reasonable that more people understood the GMI approach as the way to actually materialize an UBI.

      I stand corrected as it’s clear that many people actually believe that a pure UBI is somehow feasible as it’s simplest definition.

      It’s like when talking about democracy we are not talking about ancient greek democracy but about modern democracy instead.

        GMI has the problems you yourself stated. When someone working earns as much as someone on GMI they are bound to feel resentment.
