Indeed, this is a great argument for UBI, since it will not be possible to maintain a job supply which can provide everyone with a life. :)

That's a pretty terrible reason for UBI imo. If UBI is built to offset the lack of jobs, more people will choose not to work. If people choose not to work, the price of labor will go up. If the price of labor goes up, more and more labor will be outsourced to countries without UBI. It will create an underclass of non-citizens who don't get the luxury of UBI but live in an economy built for people who do.

People just choosing not to work in a thread about about ever-increasing numbers of workers with multiple jobs. Really??

If you're working 3 jobs to pay the bills, and then someone starts paying the bills for you, you're probably not going to continue working those 3 jobs. I don't see anything remotely controversial about that logic.
The reason people work minimum wage jobs is because they require that minimum wage to live.
