> Not a rebuttal

Just like you don't need to rebutt a flat earther theory that ignores basic laws of gravity, no-one needs to rebut an argument that ignores basics of economics.

You are conflating consumer good and assets, you are conflating creation of money and redistribution, you are totally ignoring the three most important factors - velosity of money, productivity and interest rates.

Firstly prices of houses and other assets depend on interest rates, not wages.

Secondly UBI does not do 'rescaling', whatever that means, nor does it create new money, it does redistribution. Redistribution does not cause inflation.

You could have presented an argument that velosity of money would increase so much it could trigger inflation, or that productivity would collapse, but you have provided no such argument, let alone evidence
