I don't doubt the replacement of our present poverty programs with a UBI would be an improvement but that is never going to happen- you will end up with both no matter how it starts out.

Ubi creates a smaller disincentive to work. Arguably, it is the smallest possible while still giving aid to the poor. The other option is no government aid and totally relying on charity. That's more hit or miss and of questionable adequacy.
