> What would stop more and more people choosing to become freeloaders if UBI is implemented? The promise of property and personal wealth, probably. UBI wouldn't be enough to live off of for most people, and there's no incentive to make it that way. Nobody would vote for a UBI definition that gives San Fran residents more money to cover their oh-so expensive housing. As-is though, many people think there aren't any economic incentives in the status-quo. Low-end jobs in retail and food service are going unfilled across America, and it's not because of UBI. People hate the jobs, and the market is being forced to respond. If competing with the promise of UBI is too difficult for employers, they probably weren't offering a living wage in the first place.
