The idea is that current welfare rules prohibit part-time workers from receiving benefits, but if you lift the rules and provide a basic income, that'll free up people to get out and work.
Okay, as long as the monthly checks aren't too big. If you give people too much money, they won't want to work. It's human nature.
Interesting, in any case, especially in how leftists just love it. There's a failure of capitalism, and all that.
