I edited my original comment: universal basic income + no minimum wage or other forms of welfare (most of which offer negative incentives, such as TANF, unemployment benefits, mandatory social security, etc.). UBI should get you a very base level of livability (not enough to live in an expensive metropolis like SF/NYC), but not enough that most people won't want to work to improve their standard of living. Minimum wage and other forms of welfare just don't make sense compared to a simple, clean, basic income.
