And this is reason, why Basic Income won't come easily. They (government, corporations) don't want people to have too much free time, to worry about theirs wrong-doing.

Basic Income is intended to be a more efficient and fairer way to provide social support and to eliminate the poverty trap that makes some people worse off if they get a job. It's actually designed to encourage more people to work and thus reduce aggregate free time. After all, the money to provide the Basic Income has to come from somewhere.

To the contrary, Basic Income means consumers will have to spend their money purchasing things from for-profit entities which were previously provided by the government. Except for the corporations which are government suppliers for existing social services and goods. They will oppose it.
