Hypothetically sure. Then when they realize they don't have money for the luxuries they want I'm sure they'll feel differently.

It depends on what luxuries they want, though. And how bad they want it. If they already sat around and watched Netflix and youtube all day, then they'd probably be fine. Or only played certain games. Or something that didn't really cost too much money. But I also don't think they'll get just enough to live. Especially since there's still no fair way to dish out the money with all the cost of living differences and stuff... If everyone got the same, many would be getting more than enough, while others aren't getting enough...

Ideally the IRS would find out if people are wasting their UBI money on booze and Netflix instead of food and housing costs and exclude those people from it until they clean up their act.

If they care, that is... Which I don't think they would... And even then, while selling plasma isn't good enough to live off, getting booze and netflix money from them is easy...
