The argument also in favour of UBI is if minimum wage goes up then companies choose to increase prices to pay the higher wages and to maintain dividends. (Of course they could just pay less dividends and raise the profile of the worker but business gonna business)
This means that increased wages get eaten up by price increases and the cycle continues. This is in the face of galling increases like my mobile network getting away with raising prices by 20%.
