there's really two ways to do this: create a federal Bureau of Jobs or whatever that either employs people directly or coordinates with state + local bureaus to do whatever socially useful thing the government can imagine (or when they run out of such things they can just make poo poo up, as in the USSR) or come up with some insane neoliberal scheme for private industry to be able to fully employ the population through tax incentives and thousands of pages of crazy legislation - the Obamacare of jobs, basically the first is essentially UBI with an absolutely enormous layer of bureaucracy on top of it and the second would be the most massive corporate welfare project ever witnessed in the history of mankind. maybe the truth is in the middle

I could get a job guarantee and have the benevolent bureaucracy decide that my best fit is in loss prevention for a reverse mortgage company or I can get UBI and jack off in a van in the woods for as long as I like this is a tough one

it is important to establish some kind of housing controls so that local developers don't just set prices to gently caress over people on basic income and end up with a big hoard of homeless people with money

realistically we needed stricter housing controls 30 years ago but better late than never

UBI would in theory massively increase the relative power of labor since they would no longer be completely beholden to their employer for basic survival You could go on strike and still get paid and that's a huge game changer this of course only applies to people that still choose to work but that will still be a pretty substantial majority of people I'd think
