I'm guessing it would go along the lines of:
Government: [Wilfully crashes the economy with Covid closures and money printing]
Government: So, we've decided to give you UBI! Aren't we nice?
But, there's the small matter of you signing up to our [takes breath]... biometric Digital ID total surveillance caste/slavery system that will record everything you do and trap you in an inescapable nightmare dictated by your social credit score for the rest of your life.
We hate to do it but we have no choice, see, we've gotta prevent, uh, fraud and all that. Rest assured, the dystopia is very secure AND convenient!
