I would like to point out that several EU countries have minimal basic income Sort of, but that different from the unconditional income for all adults, which is what the article is about. For one there's what you mention yourself, but afaik there are also countries where you have to be able to prove you are actively looking for work/follwoing courses/... in order to continue to receive it. (btw one reason unconditional income might in the end be cheaper for a country lies in getting rid of the administration to deal with all these rules and execptions). Apart from that there are the social aspects, here's one: I know enough people who tend to look down on others who are not working and receiving that income. That might fade away if both groups get the same income, as the offenders will quickly realise they would be looking down on themselves.
