> And so there will continue to be people who are unemployable because they're unreliable. We need both kinds of jobs; it shouldn't be impossible to have an economy where both exist... I think I would rather these unreliable people be paid basic income to just live than to try and invent some convoluted employment scheme for them, that will ultimately 90% benefit the bureaucrats and 10% to those people and that will also inevitably balloon to 5x its intended original size.

The idea is to create the least convoluted employment scheme conceivable. Convoluted employment schemes are exactly the problem that keeps people who can't handle their shit from working at all.

  But they are not convoluted purposely to make employment difficult. They are just the result of bad actors cheating the system. A lot of time it's the general population who insist to add all these complications. Like with Uber where at first anybody could be a driver, but some bad things happened and people demanded that a driver has to have a clean criminal record. Same thing would happen to your simple 'day-to-day' employee scheme. It would get abused and the people would demand the abuse to be curbed
