Basic income would indeed be an improvement in many ways. I believe/hope it should/will come with a shift in our culture towards a more open and enlightened society. Unfortunately change takes a long time. We are a stubborn species.
And vengeful. A lot of the people who work will want the people who choose not to not to get anything. That's the problem. You have to accept that the workers take care of the non-workers. But because working is purely optional, hopefully that fixes a lot.
How do we move towards this though? Many countries (especially the ones I care about most, Canada/USA) have trashed their education systems. I would begin there and build that back as a foundational block of society.
It's a big project and it makes me want to run for office.

The optional part is the key.
Now, do the workers get more because they choose to work?
Of course, they get paid what they are worth. Which might be less than minimum wage, it might be billions. Businesses are free to be capitalistic and market driven, none of this fake "forcing companies to handle the welfare system for the government crap".

What's the problem? Why do you need to change anything? Those who want to be truly educated today, they find the way, why would this be any different tomorrow?
One of the key things of the education system was to teach basic skills needed by workers - if you don't need workers, then they don't need to learn. But the few who do, they will be the ones doing the work, mostly because they want to.
Which further reduces the number of workers that we need! How many teachers are hired to teach kids things that they don't need and how many teachers are only there to teach other future teachers! The number of jobs that would be reduced is incredible!

Ironically one of my first acts of office would be to ban tobacco cultivation and importation beyond a few plants for personal consumption. As a consumer of it I would suffer right along with everyone else.

Aye with the same rules as booze. Same cultivation rules as tobacco however, no corporate or private production for sale. You want it, grow it, but it will be a cottage industry at most.
