Never Go Full Socialist: This New Jersey City Is Testing Something That Even Switzerland Rejected

At the Townhall link, they mentioned the Finland example, but the excerpt left out one (I think) important finding: The people on UBI were reported as becoming happier with their lives than the control group that had to keep looking for a job.
On the one hand, you might say, "Well that's a good thing!" On the other, you might consider them as Eloi. They got handed money and were told they can do whatever they want, and that they don't have to look for a job or meet any other criteria. So sure, If somebody covers all my monthly expenses and I still get my teevee, phone, Interwebz, etc., I'll be happy being a hefalump on the couch.
If everyone does that though, then who do I call to pump my septic tank? Because "UBI to follow your passion" sounds good, and someone who goes to college to become say, a geologist, might do that because that is their passion and because they would enjoy the work. People who pump *expletive deleted*it don't do that because they love it, they do it because they get paid for it. If they're told, "You can get paid to pump *expletive deleted*it or be paid to surf porn", what are those guys* going to choose?
*Because despite the "everyone deserves a college education" crowd, most of these guys aren't going to go to college to become a geologist instead of a *expletive deleted*it pumper.
EDIT: The Townhall article did have a link to a BBC article where they talk more about the "happy" factor.
