Universal basic income in the future

[Anomalocaris]

So here I am two years later bumping this thread because we have a presidential candidate gaining more and more support on the idea of universal basic income.

Thoughts?

I would prefer a system of make work where income correlated to level of performance at work, but work is made available even through make-work projects if necessary , rather than a system of guaranteed universal basic income.

It is necessary to ensure everyone understand there is such a thing as too lazy to be fed.

If people are paid based on performance doing even redundant work, then at least they would still be accustomed to working harder for more pay and would not turn down more productive work should opportunity for such arise.
