&gt; 1) Salaries can decrease because employees are getting some income from the government. If you&#x27;re making $100k now, you&#x27;d no longer need $100k from your employer, post-UBI, to have the same total income and quality of life.<p>Who would actually be incentivized by this? &quot;I can wakeup and do whatever I want today... OR I can roll into my crappy job with my crappy boss and be part of the economic machine and make a tiny bit more money each year...&quot;<p>If you&#x27;re making $30k a year for nothing, why work at all for an extra $10 or $20k?
