Isn't this the exact effect you would want, if you are instituting basic income partly as a response to structural unemployment as a result of automation?
> fewer working mothers can find child care, fewer laborers to mow your lawn, fewer nurses, fewer teachers, etc.
Maybe these jobs start paying more. How is that bad? With basic income, more mothers would be able to stay home with their kids, more people would care for their own homes, and the nurses and teachers we need would see bigger paychecks.
Net, I don't see how society is worse off under that arrangement. It sounds a lot like how life was in this country before huge income disparities made hiring servants normal for people with means.
> It's not just wealthier people who will be worse off - it's everyone.
You assert this, but your comment doesn't successfully back up your assertion.
