Most people WANT to work, and will do so even with UBI covering their living expenses, and their mental health will be better for it. People who choose not to work will still benefit the economy by spending money with local businesses, and many will be artists, musicians, woodworkers, and other such creators, all of whom are beneficial to the economy and culture. UBI would also eliminate the need for virtually all welfare programs, which would once again benefit the economy by reducing government spending. There are no downsides.
