For context of GP question was "How do we prevent creating the same inefficient welfare with UBI", to which parent said roughly "Don't care, just give everyone cash".
You can't just give a lump sum of money to a guy with down syndrome and hope he will figure out what he needs without some sort of external assistance, i.e. some sort of welfare program.
So either UBI is just the most cynical attempt at social darwinism and eugenics in a long time, or UBI needs to be complemented by something that looks very much like the current set of welfare program.
It is easy to see that UBI can somewhat easily be funded, however (UBI + welfare) is a completely different matter.
