As shitty as working for Uber might be, this is a huge benefit that they currently present. You can get by driving for Uber for a bit, allowing you to hold off on accepting an okay outcome and find better employment opportunities than otherwise.

Except - you are not searching for opportunities, you are working. It takes your focus and time. I agree that it helps you get by, but the cost is much higher than it would be with basic income.
