UBI should cover government-regulated and government-provided essentials to living.
Ex.:
* Government housing: $500
* Government basic food package - daily (1500kcal): $300
* x kJ electricity, x m3 water, x m3 gas, x bps internet connection: $500
* Clothing, hygiene, cleaning supplies: $50
* Universal healthcare: free (and free condoms)
* Free education (from abc to PHD)
This is not a comprehensive list, or even the right values, however you can guarantee a base-level of what is "living with dignity" and apt to participate in the democracy.
I doubt you'd have too many people deciding to live without a job. It's not the best life, but you can survive with some human dignity. Many around the world live with much less.
UBI isn't the American Dream, it's the safety net.
