> I am convinced that their talk of UBI is just handwaving; they're trying to convince us that there will be a solution to the destruction of the economy as we know it, so that we'll just let them do whatever they want.

This is exactly it. Also, even if UBI is implemented:

1) It's probably going to be just enough to let one scrape by as a member of a permanent underclass. You will not be comfortable on it.

2) I doubt it will be permanent, there will be a rug-pull once said underclass has been politically neutered. They'll kill off the UBI deprivation, mainly because they just don't care about those people.

So you're saying we'll all live on "Reservations".
Aren't you excited?
