"Caring for the elderly is a weakness."


"Putting words in people's mouths is fun"

Caring about the elderly is entirely besides the point I'm making


No, but a massive, disproportional share of your population caring for the elderly is a real weakness. A market economy would weigh and value "caring for the elderly" in balance with other priorities, whilst UBI volunteers are free to care for the elderly too much, sacrificing limited resources that are needed to keep a society competitive in other areas.
