I think it's to provide a general solution for most labor shortages and not specific solutions.

there are no labor shortages, just wage shortages

I agree with that, but the current shape of the population will result in a true labor shortage eventually. We just need to start thinking about how to deal with that future today. UBI will eventually be required when companies can manufacture labor and people will legitimately not be able to work.

We need unions that work for us to make sure we get paid with the owner class.
