This piece seems poorly argued. It throws its hands up at the impossibility of funding UBI without any deep structural analyses and then relates some unsourced anecdotes about working-class and migrant children who plan to "go on the dole" and then matches that attitude up with just taking UBI and presumably... nothing else? It seems like the main concern among nay-sayers is that they can't conceive of a world where some people choose basic leisure over working low-status, poorly-compensated jobs. Because upward mobility, while still possible, is difficult for most. You'll notice that critics of UBI don't offer alternatives, just the status quo.
