Yeah, a UBI would at least mean people wouldn't starve.
It would also change the power structure throughout the workplace: bad companies, bad employers, bad managers would never be tolerated. Employees might have to be treated as...gasp...people.
And the dirty work that's hard and harsh? To get people to do it, they'd have to be paid commensurate with the effort and time.
There are not many countries where the idea wouldn't uproot the fabric of society's sense of superiority, and the US isn't one of them. (Australia probably isn't one either, sadly.)
