- I want a job, but I have no transportation
- I want a job, but I have no skills
- I want the money from a job, and I'm willing to show up to a job, but I never actually do the work. If you fire me, I will go get another guaranteed job.
- I show up to the job and do the work, but my manager hates me and fires me. I guess I will go get another guaranteed job.
- I show up to the job and do the work, but all the managers in this town have an unspoken agreement that they will report people of my (skin color, gender, orientation, whatever) as not doing the work, so I have been fired multiple times.
- Bureaucracy managing the guaranteed jobs program replaces the bureaucracy managing the programs eliminated by Basic Income.
I'm in favor of more spending on maintenance and public works, but I don't think a guaranteed jobs program will work as well as basic income.
