I wonder if that just raises the bar and everything becomes the same again: - everyone gets at least X for basic income - for some people it makes more sense to not take low-paid shitty jobs because deducting commuting and lunch expenses from the low-paid salary you can probably make the same money on basic income, especially if you're willing to be a bit frugal - more money gets offered for low-paid shitty jobs because there's high demand and low supply of workers - the extra money is charged from the customers of the companies who employ the workers who do the not-so-low-paid shitty jobs - the costs trickle upwards and cause inflated prices which in turn makes landlords raise rents accordingly - the rents and price of food become painfully high for those who live on basic income - we're back at square one: poor people have to take shitty, relatively low-paid jobs to make a living because the amount of basic income, X, is baked into pretty much all prices in the market
