So how should people get access to scarce resources?

Everyone having access to scarce resources makes no sense and giving everyone the same amount of it would be unfair.

NAYRT

I agree that distribution of resources is a very hard question for any economic system to solve. I strongly disagree with the idea that our present system is particularly good at solving it, or that it's especially sensible or fair.

Our present system basically distributes capital in proportion to possession of or usefulness to capital. It's not like there's some iron law written in the sky that makes the perspective of capital a logical and necessary one to organize an economy around. It's a useful choice in many ways, but it's also in many ways an arbitrary one. Like, on a basic level, why should ownership of capital entitle one to a much greater distribution of resources? That's the idea that our present system is founded on.

So it's true that there's a resource distribution problem in a UBI scenario. But that's very much not unique to UBI.

I strongly disagree with the idea that our present system is particularly good at solving it, or that it's especially sensible or fair.

And I wholly agree. But there's "the current system doesn't work, let's think on something else that could" and "let's talk about other system that has no way to work as if it's what should do"
