I think everyone already had a taste of UBI from the covid stimulus checks that raised the costs of everything.
The correct answer is to guarantee food, medicine, shelter, and education. This provides a bottomline for all other sellers and keeps prices down as well.

That’s not what happened. During Covid, stuff got scarce, because supply chains got interrupted (e.g. by lockdowns in China). People still wanted/needed that stuff though and the ones that could afford it paid more money for it. the companies just “forgot” to lower the prices again after covid, since everyone got kind of used to the higher prices.
