Good Comment but I think this was addressed in the other thread. People who want to work would still work. UBI could be supplemented by part time work. Recipients could go off of UBI if they earned say $20,000 dollars more than their base UBI plus part time salary. So a full time job that pays $20,000 dollars more a year would enable full time employment. It might work.
