Nah that’s not how the world works.

It’s closer to a school with 1000 students.

1 kid got 10000 eggs from their parents and refuses to share. Ther rest have 0-2 eggs each.

Maybe the students do chores but the pocket money they get only allows them to get 1 extra egg.

UBI is the school giving 2 eggs to every student. Now the egg distribution is more even since most students now have double the eggs or more but the richest students eggs only went up by a tiny percentage.

Is it really fair that one student has more eggs than they could possibly need and many kids have nothing just because they were born into a different family.

If you want to talk about really being fair you probably want to talk about proper wealth redistribution. If you took 5000 eggs off that one student and split it between everyone, every kid would be up 5 eggs. The kid with all the eggs would still have 5005 eggs which IMO is still more than any 1 kid should have to themselves.

I still wouldn’t call any of this charity since 99.9% of people benefit from it.
