The gamble is if there's enough of these people in the right places to keep society running.

I'm not as confident as a lot of people seem to be that there are/would be. And that's ignoring the aspects of training, physical ability, etc and just considering interest/desire.

With UBI, it doesn't mean there aren't any jobs at all. It means that you need to incentivise people with enough money that they actually want to do that job. Better than the alternative of paying someone a poverty wage so they can try to keep a roof over their head.
