I wonder if a UBI, done well, couldn’t help compete with foreign companies who enjoy much cheaper labor. The UBI could move people from thinking of an employer as a total source of income and livelihood to a marginal source of income. They’d be much more flexible to employer demands, once employers start to think of labor as a marginal cost than something to average out across multiple units of output. Ie employees become more like the contractors that Uber/Lyft say they’re hiring across the economy.
