Wouldn't this put s shit ton of government employees out of work? I don't see anything mentioning this but I imagine that's a lot of people.

what we have now is a half assed attempt at helping poor people. Give them just enough to survive and ensure a large population of worker bees. So a more generous approach a great idea. But what about all the people who hate their shitty jobs? Say garbage collectors, lots of shop workers, factory workers etc? I imagine a lot of them would at the very least cut their working hours or get a different job that pays less but that they hate less. So in order to compensate for that and maintain levels of production and a sales force they will have to increase wages, which will lead to higher prices which will offset the expected rise in living standards.
