Because you're comparing a BASIC income with $1,000,000/month income. So, yeah, obviously $1,000,000 is absurd. But a basic income that at least guarantees that you have food on the table for yourself/your family can put a lot towards allowing people to explore other facets of their lives. Instead of 1 person working 2 jobs, now we can have 2 people working 1 job each = lower unemployment. Now that person who has more time to themselves + has a few hundred extra dollars a month could put it towards classes or training to begin their own business, or develop a hobby. It's well-known that less stressed people live longer, happier lives.
