> This is more or less what happens with tipping

The amount of tips isnt guaranteed,and you don't get access to them independently of whether you also choose the low-paying job, so I don't see how it's at all similar to UBI/NIT.

If people got the average rate of tips for a tipped job without doing the job, you think they'd take the job on top for the tipped minimum wage ($2.13/hr federally)? I don't think so.

A lot of states regulate tips so the employer has to compensate an employee whose tips equal less than the minimum wage for the hours worked.

Yeah, I don’t think extending that is a positive thing.

It’s like taking the worst part of “tipping in the US” and running with just that’s.
