couple options include taking profits gained through AI/automation that have historically gone to shareholders. The other is VAT tax targeting the wealthy. We don't need UBI for everyone all at once, so funding would be incremental. I don't think it's the largest challenge to UBI, the main one being people who oppose it for any number of reasons.

I don't think either of us should try to assume an advanced knowledge of economics. We don't know what will happen to the cycle, but the idea of UBI wouldn't be proposed at all unless that were also a consideration already answered.
