I think I must be naive, but is your typical 26 year old so unmotivated that $2k a month is enough to derail any ambitions of making a life for themselves?
26 year old me (if living at home with no real expenses) would look at that $2k per month from UBI and think I should also take that server job so I could bring home $4500 a month and get out of my parents house! Or, more accurately, the real 26 year old me would have appreciated that $2k per month cushion to support me while I started my business...
