The whole point of basic income is that you don't have to work for it, just like you don't have to work for access to universal health care.

Isn't the whole concept of Basic Income that there are no strings attached?
There are a long list of reasons I do not want Basic Income. I really don't feel like writing an opus in comments here today. I think my last three blog posts have been about my objections to Basic Income. You are welcome to read those if you wish to get an inkling of my opinion on the subject.

I don't want Basic Income only to be told where and how to work. If I have to work for it, I want to go find work my damn self that I find palatable.
Which is (part of) why I don't want Basic Income at all.
