Let’s assume forcing people to work for UBI is a good thing (something I completely disagree with) and focus on the practicality of it instead. As soon as you put in qualifiers it is no longer universal. Inevitably with gatekeepers you will have corruption (controlling who qualifies gives you power) as there is always an incentive. On the flip side you incentivize cheating (loopholes in the qualifiers, lying, etc.) and then all the $ spent staffing and building tools to enforce those qualifiers, then the staff who regulate them, etc. So with good intentions you’ve completely ruined what could have been a very simple, fair, and efficient system. Basically what government does every day (usually with good intentions).
