The concern is that the loss of workers will hurt production&#x2F;the economy&#x2F;etc.<p>If right now, people are willing to do simple work for minimum wage, but we change the system so that people want twice as much before working, then anything that depends on that kind of labor goes up in price, with ripple effects. If less people work, less goods are produced, and prices go up. Similarly, if more people are buying things with their guaranteed income, there&#x27;s more demand, and prices go up.<p>This has nothing to do with judging people for choosing not to work, despite what you claimed.<p>Do you understand that opposition to this idea might not be motivated by wanting to have a system &quot;take advantage &quot; of people? It sounds like you don&#x27;t, from what you wrote.
