If everyone gets $1000 every month guaranteed for "basic needs", the prices for those basic needs will increase accordingly. And independently. So you'll end up spending that $1k on either housing, bills or food.
So you will still need a job if you want all three of those things, not sit around and contemplate what you should do with your life.
It's sort of like how the ACA raised the overall price of insurance.
Giving money/help selectively to those who need it right now (and can prove it, i.e. no job but looking for one) is still better than UBI.

Prove me wrong.
