Thousands to receive basic income in Finland

Almost nobody will leave his job / stop looking for one / risk a complete career change if that income is not guaranteed for life.
It's almost like taking away a child's allowance...
If I got no social benefits before it's all golden. If I get the bare minimum anyways, yay for less bureaucracy and allowing me to take a small job without loosing money by falling out of the social benefits.
But what if I got more? There will be some good reason for me to get more, like illness or handicap, higher income before loosing a job (it's a little strange, but makes sense so people don't loose their house by failing to pay off the loan on it), children, student that needs to pay rent in the city and university etc...
If they get the same it's just a decay of the social state.
