How does UBI not mess up the economy or inflation in the long term? >_>

It's good they're doing a test on it, i'm just saying the topic title makes it seem like it's the whole country.

I read that today,private donations will fund it.Id be pissed not to get chosen to get the money lol.I wanted to know how they chose these people over everyone else.

If I was chosen to not get the UBI at the end of the trial run I would say "It F'ing SUCKED!".

Clearly everyone who gets it will be "this is the way ot SHOULD be" at the end.

My understanding is limited, but I believe the general idea is "cheaper all things considered to keep people on the wagon than it is to spend resources trying to get them back on it"

But won't everyone just jack up the prices and rent overtime since they know everyone has more income?
