Why does every business need a copy of my Social Security Number?
Counter-intuitively, work is freedom. The standard of 'everybody works' means everybody can leave a partner who needs leaving.
Currently, a stay-at-home parent is at the economic mercy of the breadwinner.
And yet...it worked out perfectly well for the overwhelming majority of couples in the US (and the western world) up until about 25-30 years ago....
2 parent, stay at home wife was the norm for ages and it worked well....in fact, most of the societal problems we see today can largely be attributed to the destruction of the "nuclear family".
The "nuclear family" is a sad degeneration of the multi generation family that was common for much of the 20th century. The nuclear family was a lot less happy than the myths say. Way back was also a time that people in the neighborhood would look out for each other, and each others' kids. That is not today's culture.
Its good for kids to naturally hang out in unplanned groups of varying ages where the slightly older kids teach the younger ones. Adults would be drinking beer outside, more or less in view of the kids. No amount of "nuclear family" is sufficient to bring back that sense of community and belonging.

TFA also mentions that the same situation exists at the State level as well.
All it takes for your apocalypse to materialize is for X% of defendants to say "I want a trial"

"the closure was for political, not technical or safety reasons."
The implementation details, insurmountable or not, should be addressed once the basic question of would be be worth it is explored.
This is not a test of a basic income system, but it is a test of the effects of BI. For the recipients, it is essentially indistinguishable from BI.
The financing part is the engineering and political part. The implementation part. No pieces are missing, but it may be very difficult to assemble. This study, if conducted rigorously, is about the science and understanding.
It grows the economy more than it costs the economy over the long term, it can be viable. We have some data on that though not complete data. Is this repeatable? I think it would have to be for any significant pilots are attempted.
To wit, you get money/subsidies to install chargers, not to keep them running.

There Aren't Enough Electricians To Fix America's Broken EV Chargers

tl;dr: estimates are that the demand for electricians will grow over the next decade while the supply of electricians will shrink
their tax rates should go the fuck up for this and stay up for a good long time.
Those can be unstable. If they don't devolve into hour long meetings, they are just peacy.
