1. power divide
How is this different than welfare, except that with UBI people are able to get a job without fear of losing benefits?
2. predators
Again, how does UBI makes this problem worse than it already is? I've never heard of _any_ idea which makes this problem disappear.
3. charity
In my opinion this is actually an argument in favor of UBI, rather than against it. Maybe the charity mindset would change, but I don't see it completely going away. On the other hand, many excuses will. We would benefit from a system that gives people a better chance at demonstrating personal responsibility.
