When talking to people who dislike UBI about UBI, they'll often say both that 'people need a purpose in life' and that 'nobody will work if they get free money'. - eviltoast

Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

    For example, restaurant probably aren’t possible if waiters and back of house are all paid 30/h.

    Somehow in every country other than the US they are able to pay restaurant staff a living wage.
