Because it helps your local community, helps create more jobs, is good for the economy, ect.
And I was sitting there the entire time thinking "wouldn't UBI do the same thing for local businesses?"
If only more people know about Yang

Take that UBI cash and go support your local craft brewery guys!
Why wouldn't people just use that $1000 money on amazon the same way there using the money they have now. That's what I would do, I would buy stuff on amazon lol.
For Prime Day sure they would spend on Amazon, but that's a once a year thing, whereas UBI will be every month.
Local businesses aren't being affected by just prime day, they're being affected by Amazon as a whole, and I don't see people spending $1000 a month on amazon.

There is nothing you can do about retail stores going extinct in the coming years. When something is cheap, convenient and reliable, you can't fight against it. How the UBI can help is, as a retail store closes hopefully a new non-retail business will take it's place, like a yoga studio, childcare center, nursing home, pet store...etc.
I do still enjoy going to a store and getting an item immediately instead of waiting, or being able to physically compare clothes and shoes. I dont think all retail stores will go away in the near future, but they will definitely be reduced.
