Definitely a valid point. I guess the difference between food stamps and UBI as it is usually proposed is that working income would supplement UBI and not disqualify the recipient. But you are right in that it could be a crutch for the unmotivated, if administered in the wrong way and/or at the wrong monthly amount. Hopefully some of the current trials underway will provide some data to inform a path forward. Thanks for the comment!
