Bukowski was not only offered a salary for his work, but ownership in the enterprise itself, in the form of the copyright he had as an author. I am against UBI on the basis of practicality and the principles of equality, democracy, and human rights. For practicality, the impossibility of setting the level of this income. Should it cover job loss for you and a family of 4 living on Manhattan or the Bay Area, or should it cover the needs of a single 25 year old with no health complications living in Detroit? You cannot even answer this simple question and regardless of your answer, your camp will not agree with you because it is impossible to set. As for equality, a subsistence income which is the only type that is practically feasible, will create a captured class, living in slums and unable to manage their own lives, plan for the future, raise a family. They will forever be stuck in a location with awful schooling, health care, no jobs and no access to higher education. And they will only ever vote for modest increases in their income as it will be their only means of bettering their lot in life - hence being captured in a dreadful reality and a dreadful political ideology. It would be a society not seen since Rome, and it would cause enormous social unrest. Thankfully it will never happen because you cannot even decide on the level of this income.
