Investopedia has an interesting article, search "dormancy fee", but it's about credit cards, still doesn't seem like it could be legal for Paypal either.

What happens if 100% of people decide they don't want to be the chump paying for UBI and we all go on UBI? With no one left making money, there's no way for the country to make pay UBI payments. Using UBI as an argument to elimina
