IMHO for basic income to succeed esp the supplemental 1k type ine should have more options of partial work. For instance I would like to work only 3 days a week and building something useful or contributing to a social cause rest of the week knowing I have a cushion of basic income. But the flip side is many companies won't be willing to offer such jobs. At least I am not sure what value I can add to society through this extra income if I still have to work 40 hrs a week.

Actually there are too many part-time only positions out there. The trouble is there is a lack of part time work in the higher skill / higher pay area -- most part time is lower skilled / minimum wage labor.
