I'm not so sure we can compare the impact of temporary changes to the goals that proponents of UBI have set out.
I suspect there's going to be significant pressure to wind back expansions and allow temporary programs to sunset. And it'll be hard to argue to keep them once vaccine access is high, schools are open, and things can "return to normal."
Not working at a time when you have access to significantly increased unemployment funds and in the middle of a pandemic is an extremely rational decision, but I suspect it is not how the long-term would look.
