"Only if they were colluding with one another"

If everyone knows they can get basic income for doing nothing, the majority will not choose a job that pays less than or equal to the basic income.

This means businesses will have to increase wages (and costs of goods and services). No colluding necessary..just economics.

You don't lose your basic income just because you get a job. Everyone gets it.
