Why are we pretending universal payments are always progressive? This article nails it: by refusing to means test, the government ends up handing cash and subsidies to millionaires while people who actually need help get crumbs. Means testing isn't the enemy—blank checks for the rich are.

By avoiding means testing, the government is giving handouts to the rich

The shift towards universal policies may seem fair, but it’s creating a system that gives to the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

Excellent new discussion from Gary's Economics on how and why crises (like current Iran war, covid etc) usually result in massive transfer of wealth from the public and from poorer people, to the very rich.
