As someone who grew up a block away from a very poor government run apartment complex, there is no possible way UBI will work. People who are working and are in the lower middle class will immediately look at the people who do nothing all day making the same money as they are, which will at best breed resentment and unrest, and at worst will result in all of those people just saying "fuck it" and quitting their jobs to live off of the system. It will accelerate the economic issues that we are currently going through (inflation, shrinking labour pool, out of control government spending).

There HAS to be a downside to sitting at home doing nothing all day, otherwise our entire society will just collapse in on itself
