RE: Better than UBI: Human Reason To Work... what the proponents MISS!
Some experiments recently made in Europe shows that UBI, instead of making people lazy, made a lot of enterprises and job creation.
In one of the experiments, unemployment went to zero and they had to hire people from outside the zones of the experiment.
But I think it depends on the kind of cultural background have the people that receive UBI.
Of course, there will be different effects in Europe, US, South America Asia or Africa.
You may also want to look at "local script" and the effects it has had on the communities where it was implemented. Such as zero unemployment.
And then look how the nations banned local script.
I was talking about Unconditional Basic Income Europe (UBIE).
I don't agree with states involved in UBI'politics
But anyway, the minimum basic income in Portugal saves a lot of families from dying with hunger, besides that I believe in another kind of interventions based in participation models like possible voluntary civic services the beneficiaries could perform as a basis of value/exchange as social contribution.
Participation is the key of any incentive system.
Just for curiosity here is the link UBIE

It actually depends on the experiment.
Was it charity or welfare?
Welfare has destroyed entire regions.
Charity has helped many.
Further, the effects of UBI are global. The affects of an experiment are local.
Or, in other words, (I hope you know how money is created)
You, a person, can go to work, get a second job, or side hustle and make more money.
However, bankruptcies are not caused by not working hard enough. It is the person who is running the slowest who gets eaten.
There isn't enough money to pay for all the mortgages.
So, from an individual perspective, you can get more money.
From a large perspective there isn't enough money.
And with all the ways they have said they want to implement UBI, there will be even less money.
