Words matter.

You aren't writing an academic paper. Always use simple direct language.

Help the poor
Healthcare for everyone
Good treatment at work.

Don't use complex words.

Just curious, how can UBI be implemented in a way that doesn’t result in hyperinflation?

I don't know - and we're never going to find out, in the United States at least. I may support UBI but that doesn't mean it's not the biggest pipe dream in the history of pipe dreams.
