“Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a social welfare concept that proposes providing all citizens or residents of a particular country or region with a regular, unconditional sum of money, regardless of their income, employment status, or wealth”

That has no bearing on what your income from your job is. Pretending this won't have any impact on the value of jobs to both employers and workers can only be intentionally obtuse. That's like saying that raising minimum wage will have an equal impact on the hourly wage of all employees.

That is a false equivalency.

I am also arguing against UBI, so thank you for adding additional points to my argument.

Take care.

Once again, misleading to the point of being intentional. A implies B is not the same as B implies A. Having UBI be guaranteed regardless of income is not the same as income being guaranteed regardless of UBI. So why do you keep insisting that it must? At this point I have to assume intent rather than ignorance.
