What incentive is there for real employable skills when sitting back in a classroom is going to give one more than what is needed for survival? People are more likely to take bullshit classes.
Real employable skills come from actual employment. If we're going to blindly trust that actual employment will magically provide 85% or even 115% of the cost of living, then we're making a dangerous mistake.

Let's hash it out not in a basic income thread. If you accept the above premise, then the notion of humans needing employment is absurd.
