Avoid tweaking UBI

good followup. unless we resist the temptation to “tweak” things, we’ll end up in the same complicated mess we have today:

Whether on grounds of justice, practicality, or just public choice considerations, we should not expect everyone to be paid the same under a guaranteed annual income. And with enough tweaks, this version of the guaranteed income suddenly starts resembling…the welfare state, albeit the welfare state plus.
