There's no way to test for who "deserves" basic income. As the means of generating and funneling wealth gets increasingly wrenched out of everyone's hands, it becomes a responsibility of a governing body to ensure everyone is okay.
Would terrorists be able to recruit a bunch of people who have all their needs taken care of and are able to pursue the work they want, even if the wages from it aren't high?
Would someone go out late at night to rob people, and risk getting shot themselves, when they have their rent, food, and needs met?
This needs to be universal. If you set up criteria that will only push the bottom further down. It'll create the opportunity for racist policy to make sure only the "good people" get aid.
