This is a fascinating comment, encapsulating all that I disagree with from opponents of BI. There's the guess that market wages for jobs less desirable than touring with your band would trend much lower, which seems unlikely.
But more, you seem to think having people pursuing what they enjoy because they have more leverage over potential employers is obviously a bad thing!
That's clearly an unresolvable moral distinction; I am strongly, STRONGLY in favor of more people pursuing what they love at the cost of paying more for jobs I consider no fun to be done.
Certainly many people will sit around much of the time; why in the world do I care? While it is possible society will collapse because all humans require external threats to be productive, that seems extremely unlikely to me.
Lots of people will get a chance to pursue meaningful work instead of drudgery. I am all in favor of this.
