I just worry that UBI will just be an excuse to never fix income inequality.

UBI indirectly solves income inequality. If no one needs to work just to survive, it becomes very difficult to exploit workers (which is the only way to build obscene wealth).

I worry about govt’s misusing it. I’m still a big UBI fan, but after seeing it employed in Captain Laserhawk, it made me aware of how it can be a cudgel of a corrupt govt as well.

This. Government has every incentive to make it at poverty wage levels.
