One criticism of a universal basic income is that it would make work optional from an economic perspective, but I don't hear as often *why* that's a bad thing. I think there's an implicit assumption that the economy needs people to work jobs that they would only do if they don't have an option to do otherwise.

@WellnezGeek hey. was just opining. I'm no expert. You would learn more from Wikipedia
