Excellent article
Although I'm able-bodied, I have had a couple of longish periods of unemployment in the past at least partially due to employer discrimination. It was really frustrating being unable to find work and unable to do anything to help the community (like volunteering to help adult learners with their maths and English, or even helping local charity shops with their admin) because if I'd done so, I'd have lost unemployment benefit. A UBI would have allowed me to make myself useful as and when and where I could until such time as I'd found paid employment.
