The only thing this does for people who don't have jobs (who arguably are most in need of something like Basic Income) is it hopefully causes more jobs to be created. But these are going to be low-wage jobs (e.g. expect to see jobs that pay exactly $30k per year). So basically, what you're proposing is to give people a chance at a shitty job (and remember, it's just a chance, it certainly won't drive unemployment down to 0%). That's very different from Basic Income. One of the big benefits of Basic Income is that, freed from the need to work just to have food/shelter, people can seek out more fulfilling things to do instead of having to work crappy jobs just to live. I guarantee you nobody feels fulfilled by working a minimum wage job.
