That's not a UBI then is it? Isn't the point of a UBI to give it to everyone universally regardless of their specific situation?

Yeah it's not UBI, but it still gives rise to a set of people described by "UBI consumer serfs". Who are basically locked in, because even if they got a job, they'd likely be worse off than before, having to pay for more things that were free previously, and having much larger personal costs (having to get up at 6 am every day).

Yes my point was that that wouldn't happen with a real UBI as it wouldn't go away if they got a job or started saving money.
