Is this a solution in search of a problem? I'm not trolling, but asking this honestly. This is actually the article's tldr: Exactly what is the problem? Precisely how does UBI solve this specific problem? There are examples of focused government programs achieving specific goals, and there are examples of programs with non-specific goals which merely become self-perpetuating. I think from the shear scale of the federal government's power, it should be turning a profit and paying dividends to citizens. That would be UBI. But that is a way bigger issue and off topic.
