Basic income provides people the basics needed to be able to look for and apply and interview for work without having to worry about how are they going to pay for food, transportation to/from interviews etc...
Its crippling knowing that you only have a little bit of money and you need to determine how much a sunk-cost-opportunity is worth -- meaning:
"I have $100, and I do have expenses - but in order to interview for [JOBS] - I need to be able to get to and from, put gas in car/pay for transport, and know that I can still feed myself/dependents && be able to absorb the cost of the interview if I dont get it -- AND have money to make it to the next interviews"

Everyone focuses on the lowest bar "these ghetto people wont work if we give them money"
FUCK YOU i you think that the only people who NEED such assistance are ghetto poor people who want to milk the system.

What about having employers cover the costs of actually interviewing with your company? If it costs one $50+ just to get-to-and-from an interview inclusive of time -- then some people will struggle to do so.
