> the printing of money is what causes inflation

Not really. Demand outstripping supply is what causes inflation.

And if someone chooses to work less supply is constrained = UBI. if someone chooses to work the same demand goes up = UBI. either way demand is increasing and supply is decreasing. leading to higher prices.

Except when people are working less because robots are doing the job. Now people are working less and the supply is unchanged.

Fair enough.
