Australia has been doing it for decades. They have low unemployment. Your hypothesis is not borne out in real life.

- grecy 6y agoYes. You click a button or fill in a form to say you were. Done. It's obviously not full-blown UBI, but it's certainly a form of BI, and I think it very clearly dis-proves many of the "supposed" problems that a UBI will create like massive inflation, people lazing about not working, everyone doing drugs, etc. etc.
