i feel like this thing where people are going stir-crazy and want something to do less than a week after being explicitly ordered to stay home under threat of disease and death kind of blows a hole in that “if we give people universal basic income everybody will just be lazy and won’t want to work” talking point

The number of artists, writers and musicians dumping output for free to cheer us up is right there in the “people will do productive things because the things need to be done” department.
