Talking about UBI is like talking about a space elevator. The hypotheticals might be entertaining, but it's not something we're likely to see in our lifetimes.

UBI should lift everyone about the poverty level so no one would "grow up poor", except as a relative measurement. You can still get a job so your standard of living is higher. No one is forced to stay poor.

Children might not like growing up with parents who refuse to work, but I suspect that they will appreciate the financial security. It's the fundamental promise of a society.
