At the same time, an UBI will make it so people still don't care to perform certain below-current-minimum-wage jobs. E.g. if I were on UBI, and I effectively earned $15/hour through it, I still wouldn't bother looking at jobs unless they paid, say, $5/hour or more.

I think that's one of the most fascinating questions about UBI though. Hypothetically, if you had UBI and were content at that level of consumption, what would you do? If I absolutely loved animals, I can certainly see working in a pet store for $2/hr or a pittance.
