> My ex lost her job at some point and was looking for a year for a new one. She became terribly depressed Typical optimistic UBI visions would see a person like that stop looking for a job so hard and start some form of UBI-enabled self employment as the closest simulacrum of that fancy middle class job (that may turn into a full replacement or not, but even just keeping the business net positive could already feel like a small success). Easy to say from a distance, but surely more of an incremental path than job hunting could ever be.
