Except that this is from 2019, and we just had a massive social experiment in which a pandemic caused us to give out a lot of money to a lot of struggling people, and what we discovered was that it really helped out those people and gave a lot of folks just enough freedom to evaluate their circumstances and change jobs, or hold out for better jobs, and it also massively reduced poverty even though it was a far smaller investment than real UBI would be. So, whatever, rando 2019 think-tank article. We have the receipts. It works.
