Do not confuse welfare with Universal Basic Income. If you get $1k in welfare does it make sense to take a $1k job, lose your welfare and end up with the same $1k? No.
If you get $1k UBI, does it make sense to take a $1k job and end up with $2k? Yes.
This is why so many pilots show increases in work.
