I would like basic income too! It is awesome I'd have more money in my pocket.
$1000 a month is lots of money to live off elsewhere. It's easy to save by living a bit shabbily for a while. Not everyone will see it that way they should work more. I'm content with very little.
I don't want to be homeless or stuck when I'm sick. But I also don't want to be living in poverty in 20-30 years time which is potentially a big problem with BI due to the vicious cycle it would create with decreasing tax revenues.
