As someone that grew up in an area where there are many families that have at least two generations of non-working family units I'm actually thrilled by UBI. It won't encourage that any more than the current social welfare system does, even if those numbers increase slightly the rest of the benefits to the rest of the population are still worth it.

Not doing things because some of the population take the piss is not sensible.

Smack a large "in my opinion" on there. I don't think anyone has done the statistical modelling for it yet.
