UBI is "ill give you 5$ to fuck off" policy. It further separates people from the means of production. UBI either privileges the consumer as the core of the person, is based on some utopian technological future that leaves many people irrelevant to the social reproduction of society (where ubi then becomes a gift from the elect/entrepeneurs/etc to the surplus population) or a stop gap solution to the globalization of businesses where workers can no longer lay a claim on equity in the business they work for and all redistribution has to be via the state.
