It's hard to state how wrong that "solution" is. It comes from good intentions but as they say hell is paved with good intentions.
What is needed is that work pays more so that it's fairer and more attractive and that's it.
Instead of wasting time with an UBI that would have terrible problems down the line, just make laws so that wage inequality is reduced to a minimum. And laws to take everything of the ultra-rich beyond a certain point.
The problem isn't that there is not enough money (or ressources) to go around, the problem is that they are not fairly distributed, trying to fix it in a roundabout way will have more secondary issues than actually fixing anything.
