Quite the unsupported fantasy you've put forward - sounds similar to the argument that once people have enough money they'll stop working, so better pay them only enough to survive - until you include billionaires into the equation, who don't stop working when they have enough to live for 1,000s of years.

Billionaires are crazy kind of folks.

To realize what people are going to do when they don't have to work, look at those in retirement: gardening, choir singing, lotto may be?

So disappointed that batman/social reform was never realised by those folk.

Right, billionaires will do whatever they can to earn more, including leaving a country with high tax rates.

But a lot of people if guaranteed a minimal quality of living would just stop working and do things that they like (that don't necessarily make money) and that's the whole point of UBI.

Doing things that they like would still be working. They just don’t have to engage in rat race jobs anymore. They can have the dignity a billionaire has.
