Official federal inflation over the last 3 years has been between 6-7%. That's not indicative of local inflation, nor does it account for hyper inflation on specific goods like groceries. I have watched the prices on certain grocery items increase up to 100% in the last couple of years. I've watched some discretionary goods increase between 30-50%. My rent has been increased 22% in the last two years. So the fed not reporting 10% inflation for the year doesn't necessarily mean that people's purchasing power hasn't been reduced by a greater margin.

Studies show that people living below their means will spend additional income on necessities, bills they're behind on, etc. That's fucking fantastic! But we've also seen that people who are current on bills and not in poverty will spend windfall money on luxury goods or entertainment. That's also good because it stimulates the economy. People who are well off will just save or invest windfalls.

Again, I'm not trying to argue against UBI. I'm just expressing concerns over how the extra capital will influence pricing, if at all.
