Most low-paying jobs can't be done from home. They require the person to show up at McDonald's or Walmart, etc., so I don't see how this applies.

True, good point.

I have no idea what UBI would mean for low-wage, on-premise jobs. A sufficiently substantial UBI would undermine such jobs, I guess...
