When there are more open positions than there are qualified candidates to fill them, there is a labor shortage.

Universal Basic Income Opponents Cite Further Enrichment of the Upper Class as a Downside
Universal basic income (UBI) is a social proposal in which all persons in a given population receive a guaranteed income without conditions. (i.e., without a means test or need to work). It is received independently of any other income and what makes it "basic" is the fact that the amount is sufficient to meet a person's basic needs, at or above the poverty line. No country has yet attempted to implement UBI, and it is generally felt that the chance of such a thing happening is only slightly higher than a snowballs in hell. Typically attacks on UBI come from the right, as one would expect, given that UBI is (probably correctly) viewed as the ultimate welfare program. Of course many of these attacks are lazy, illogical, poorly thought through and easily dismantled, it is the right after all. However, there are some that are legitimate and difficult to counter. Surprisingly UBI also comes under attack from the left, and like there right wing counterparts many of these attacks are nonsensical or very weak, or just plain dumb. One attack from the left which is at least hypothetically plausible has to do with income inequality. It suggests that implementing UBI would only increase the enrichmet of the upper class, and further widen the already wide gap between rich and poor. Proponents of this ideas say this would happen because all the poor people who previously had no extra money to spend on "goods" or digital goods would blow their UBI payments in an orgy of spending madness just as soon as they had the money in their greedy little paws.
