Could this be considered a problem that we should be looking to solve, and that UBI could provide a solution for? If UBI makes the absolute worst, low paying jobs undesirable, then either innovation or a change in compensation would have to occur to ensure those jobs still get done. I don't see big innovations coming in the realm of toilet cleaning, but shouldn't compensation actually reflect the true value of the work and match the desirability of the position? Instead of continually allowing certain jobs to exist almost solely based on the fact that they take advantage of the basic need to survive, shouldn't we expect the compensation to match the job?
