I'd like to see a an article about the potential downsides of Basic Income, written by advocates of Basic Income. Is it all "there are no downsides", "there are only minor downsides for the ultra-rich", "there are no possible implementation issues", etc.. Or has someone written a thoughtful article on what might go wrong?

Inflation? what is the incentive for someone to work? How basic is basic and who determines what basic is? If any one observed Venezuela or for that matter Saudi Arabia with their social welfare paid off by Oil wealth, you would be skeptical of these social programs.
