Enforcing ubi ensures that there's a reasonable bottom to how low you can bid on labour.

Enforcing minimum wage however is problematic because it is an artificial level. It simply further creates two classes of people, the hired and the unhired.

Enforcing an understanfing of economics, motivation and thinking beyond a first order effect usually ensures people understand why ubi os a bad idea....

Automation already allows ubi over a decade ago.

Enforcing billionth-order thinking is not enough to learn psychology/motivation, but here I put it to you in simple words:

As with every capital transfer 40 acres or otherwise, it is a bad idea if you are not on the receiving side, second-order thinking not needed.
