Seeing a lot of "UBI shouldn't mean you have to work" takes which are, imo, a weird misreading of "UBI gives people the freedom to do whatever work they want."
Just because people are calling this "work" doesn't mean they're talking about the same thing as subsistence labour. And by definition, a UBI isn't a UBI if it's means-tested, so if we're talking about a true UBI, this isn't really a concern.
I think many of these takes come from a disability-adjacent place. But I actually disagree with this sentiment.
UBI is universalbasic income. It is a lowest common denominator. People with disabilities need more resources than the basic minimum; in a world with UBI, I don't think disability grants, supports, or stipends should cease to exist. Relying on UBI as the sole support of disability, whether short or long-term, isn't enough. We must demand more.
