4. Not fit to adopt kids (not everybody is fit and we should never make this an incentive to get money. We had many horror stories of froster parents gaming the system to earn more money while neglecting kids). The best way to do this is to limit to 2-3 kids and pay based on the grades, not just because they have a kid.
5. Already took college classes or even graduated but there's not enough jobs in the field. This is one of the biggest problems we have in USA, a lot of high-class graduates but many of them just end up doing jobs that are not related to their majors because there's not enough jobs or the wages aren't enough.
By your logic, this person would be earning far less than the person who is fat, an alcoholic, adopted several kids, and just taking some boring classes that usually might not lead them to anything.
In fact, the main reason I'd support basic income is that it'd lead to people doing more for society than LogicialBorg's idea.
Why?
1. Mothers don't have to work two jobs to support their kids, they can actually spend more time home with their kids. Which would actually benefits our future, led by kids in stable homes. (over-simplication but this is one of the potential benefits).
2. Folks who can't do art projects, read or anything that'd improve their artistic side because they don't have the time or money to do so, would actually be able to do this with the basic income. They're not so stressed about making ends meet.
3. There are many folks where staying idle just upset them more, so they'd go out and do something useful and not have to worry about money to do it. They might be more motivated to do some menial jobs like taking care of elders, cleaning up the streets near them, and so on.
The reality is that the smarter we make our robotics, the less jobs there'll be for anybody, even those who did everything right to get a job, they just won't be able to find a job.
