It's like how the science of climate change is actually super complicated in terms of how all the interrelated systems are interacting with each other, but discussions of it are totally poisoned when personal political leanings and biases are allowed in and cause people to put up intellectual walls to defend their camp.
The implications of UBI are actually so complex that I don't think anyone in this thread knows what they are, so we should all keep that in mind and enjoy the intellectual exploration with open-minded curiosity. We should either leave our biased assumptions out of the discussion, or, if we insist on bring our biases into the conversation, we should be willing to be equally as critical of them as anyone else' assumptions.
