I think the reasoning goes like that:

If you give 100k people each 10k$ each month, chances are that some of them stop working because they consider it enough.

The same holds for 1k$ but to a lesser extent.

Still, UBI reduces the incentive to work.

So, they give money to people because there are not enough works and then complain because the people don't work.

I get lost somewhere in the reasoning.

I can accept the claim that it reduces the incentive to work (a bit), but not the claim that there is any trap that prevents upward mobility.
