What I quite like about the UBI is that it would raise the bar for bullshit jobs- currently they’re low paid because they are not valuable to society but enough desperate people need the money to persevere with this. I think UBI would make business owners think twice about making the workers do some stupid, pointless tasks or if they insist they would have to pay handsomely for it. Personally I don’t mind doing some tedious work as long as I’m being paid fairly for it and I’d still do it on top of UBI.
