I think universal basic income is good because it gives everyone a basic cushion, so people are not forced into terrible jobs just to survive. Maybe someone who wants to start a small business or care for a relative could actually try it. I do not know, seems fair.

Fair enough, my opponent has a point that big changes can feel risky. Still, my gut says a basic income is a simple cushion so people aren't desperate. I don't know how to argue the details, but it feels fair.

Isn't it better if nobody has to panic about rent? The other side maybe worries about cost, and that's fair, I don't know how to answer that. My gut still says a basic income is a simple cushion, so people aren't desperate. Feels fair.
