Fair, but I think it's a good bet to say that people who aren't (for lack of a better word) "present" at their jobs would be perfectly fine not being there, if they weren't required to be. And I know HN is fairly skewed towards people who want more from life, but there's a lot of people who just don't. And I feel like they'd be over-represented in an opt-out-of-work cohort, if a basic income allowed for it. I don't imagine a person like that goes into work saying "I'm going to do a bad job today." I think they just don't value the work they do enough to try to do it well. And they'd rather not, if that were an option.
