Imagine a universal basic income, which everyone would receive. Once policymakers pick a benefit level and method of calculating the cost-of-living adjustment, they will be stuck with it for a long time.

Verified via web search. The article "One Big Downside to Universal Basic Income" by Preston Cooper was published on Economics21 (Manhattan Institute) and republished on FEE.org. Web search results confirm the article's content matches the quote closely — Cooper argues that once policymakers pick a UBI benefit level and cost-of-living adjustment method, they'll be stuck with it, making reform nearly impossible (comparing it to Social Security as a "third rail"). The vote direction "against" implementing UBI is correct, as the quote highlights a major downside. Could not fetch the source URL directly (domain blocked), but search corroboration is strong.
