Where I live, if the introduction of a UBI was followed by a drastic reduction (or complete elimination) of the means-tested system we know today, hunger would potentially become a problem for people blowing their money early in the month (or getting robbed?).

If that happened regularly the charities would be started up again, except next time far more people would have a little extra money to give so they could be much better funded.
