No to both. 1- It's short term and even the level of payment is inconsistent. 2- People being put into this situation come from a multitude of existing economic situations, with no proper controls. Also, nobody is actually able to "opt in" (since you couldn't quit your job and collect UI in many places) We still have no idea what a widespread, long-term UBI program would look like or its effect, even after studying this. (though of course people on both sides of the debate will take the situation as proof that they were right).
