Maybe there's a bit of misunderstanding here. I'm a longtime supporter of universal basic income with no strings attached. But basic income or not, people with jobs would still have higher self esteem and would feel more valued by the community. So I'd vote for a universal job guarantee as well.

The need to be needed is a particularly tricky one to solve.
