Right, but we need those lower paid jobs to be done so we either outsource them to countries without UBI or we pay people more to do them, raising the price of goods such that the UBI is no longer sufficient to be basic... Likely a mix of both. Seems to me the inevitable future of UBI is a guaranteed below the wage that's too low to be liveable and an economy with fewer jobs for poor people. The outsourcing is a big deal for exactly the point you list. In order to get someone with no need for income to survive to work an unpleasant job, you'll need to pay them a pretty good sum because otherwise they'll spend that time investing in themselves (or just not working). Improving labor relations for the poor is a nice idea, but all that newfound employee leverage is worth exactly nothing if the process is moved to another country.
