There is not a big incentive for people to join if they earn above average.
What I would like to see is an internal job market. Let everybody help everybody else to increase their income.
With job suggestions, it pays off to pay 7% when you for example improve your income by 30%.
The ultra wealthy have an enormous incentive to combat runaway gini coefficients (see capital South African capital flight) as at a certain point one less Scrooge McDuck money pile is well worth the price of 20 fewer homeless people on your commute and various tech b/millionaires have gone so far as finding various UBI programs via a Y Combinator pilot program

Investing some money in UBI experiments just makes them look good. What's their enormous incentive to fully introduce it? It's cheaper to commute by helicopter or relocate the headquarter. Homelessness is a problem for the middle class.
I beleave that the middle class has to finance UBI on their own. This company already provides the basic infrastructure. If that's not a good deal then the deal has to be improved.
