>$1000/month jobs aren't just limited to cashiers and janitors... They're also starting youtubers, musicians, artists, models, freelance programmers and designers etc, startups and small businesses.
How that plays into the UBI/NIT discussion?
A person in a shitty $1000 job might quit because of UBI, and that's OK.
An entrepreneur starting a "startup and small businesses" obviously doesn't do it to just get to make $1000/month or close. So UBI wont be a deterrent for them to not start and keep going at their business idea.
If anything, it would help MORE people try out business ideas, with the knowledge that even if they fail and lose all their money, they'll still have the UBI to fall back to.
And musicians/artists do it for the passion. If $1000/months allowance stops someone from trying to be a musician, then they shouldn't be a musician in the first place. Where they in it just for the money, and for so little money in fact that they're OK to not be musicians for $1000/month?
As for $1000/month preventing aspiring "youtubers" and "models" from attempting a career, that would be a net benefit of UBI!
Of course there's a difference. In NIT you literally get less money as you make more money. UBI you don't. No people do not consider UBI a disincentive to work and it's the major argument for UBI.
Not all startups are by people like you and me. Sometimes there are people who poor and trapped in a scarcity mindset and whose economic thinking is governed by fear. Those people could never reach their full potential. UBI really helps.
