Main reason why this is BS:

The study used a sample seize of 125 people. I agree that this might help them, but you can't scale this to every freaking American. If everyone gets $500 every month, $500 will not make a single difference. That is how inflation works.

Capitalism means everyone can get rich, but not all.

Is there a reason to assume that UBI with pay-fors through taxation would be significantly more inflationary than, say, increases in minimum wage (which have a fairly minor effect on inflation)?
