Yes. But the flipside of that is that it's hard to earn money. The cheaper it is to live, the harder it is to make money.

The problem UBI solves is when most humans can no longer compete with machines in the economic system. Once that happens there are only a few options, and the least unpleasant is simply to give them (us) money tokens.
