Remember that this is an experiment so to do good cannot be assumed. The hope is that enough people will use the security of UBI to build up some productive enterprise and elevate the wealth of the whole community, but there is a (very small) risk that everyone will just be idle consumers who will be in trouble when the experiment ends.
