I don't hope that this is a latent argument pro corporate slavery?

Are you seriously proposing that we need people who are paid below subsistence?

Or was this more an argument for ubi?

No, I'm saying that if everyone gets given $2000 each month and as a result everyone's wages are reduced by $2000 a month, most people will be unaffected. However, anyone who made less than $2000 a month before will get to quit their job and make more money than before UBI, so UBI wouldn't be useless in this scenario.
