> 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.
