Re: 1 - That's a huge market segment for companies to cater products and services to. The former isn't at mercy to the later - they are both benefitting as they're all receiving UBI. If you're making $50,000 a year are you going to be unhappy with getting $62,000 a year because of UBI - along with your partner and any adult children?

Re: 2 - Yup, people will have to learn to develop trusted networks and oversight to enforce and prevent, limit that behaviour. That's an organizational related problem.

Re: 3 - UBI on its own vacuum doesn't really work, it's why you also need social services, at least basic health care covered, etc - including rehabilitation programs to funnel people through.
