I'm in favor of UBI.

I think people are a bit fanatical when it comes to "lazy people wont work" attitudes. Or, "No one will work if you feed and house them for free."

Is that why you work? To meet some bare minimum of physical needs?
You've never sought a raise? or sought to improve your value to your job in some other way to increase your pay?
Even though you could already make ends meet with your current pay?

Does anyone do that?

I would work if I just needed the money, but I have spent many years making it so that I can work where I enjoy the job in a way that makes the money irrelevant.

I think if you take away the fetters of needing to meet basic needs, you unleash people to be creative with their time. That can have good and bad outcomes, but it sure feels like the most American way to move forward in an age of automation.
