Basic income is all about improving the efficiency of society, by allowing citizens the fiscal stability to pursue long-term projects. It's about ensuring that most people can afford a basic room to rent rather than living on the street and constantly needing intervention from emergency services; it's about being able to regularly buy toothpaste so they don't need a $25,000 dental surgery; it's about ensuring that most people can afford to live a decent life, so they aren't forced to turn to crime and drugs to make ends meet; it's about having a refrigerator and a cooking unit available rather than having to shell out for unhealthy prepared meals; it's about raising kids in a secure environment so they're able to take advantage of education and become productive citizens. And overall it's about creating a good society that isn't so blinded with short-term gains that it ends up bleeding money to pay for all the quick-fixes. This principle of efficiency has been proven over and over again. Disputing the policy of basic income is also a refutation of basic economics.
