I do believe it is a win all around. It isn't just that folks will stay home, but it makes it easier to have a better educated population, easier to work fewer hours if you decide to work, easier to exercise and eat well and be healthy. All around, I think society will improve.

Some of the pro-basic income folks (and myself) believe that a basic income helps with both of these points. There isn't much stigma to getting welfare that everyone gets, though possibly the extra that those that need it get.

And since it doesn't stop, there isn't that sort of disincentive towards going to work as work simply enhances it - folks might actually be more inclined to work, albeit fewer total hours.

Even with current welfare systems, there are ways to minimize these things. Creating a tapering system so that folks are Always better off working, more trust in the welfare system itself, and not treating recipients like criminals or second-class citizens.
