I feel as though this study is only addressing the bottom percentile of questions about UBI, the kind of complaints from people who think "those lazy poors shouldn't be given money". I think most people are able to understand that, yes, people's lives improve when you give them more money. My real questions are macroeconomic. Does UBI create a Keynesian stimulus effect on the economy, or is it primarily inflationary? What is the saving on means testing benefits? How does tax law need to be adjusted to ensure proper dispersal of funds?
Edit: I should emphasis that these questions come from a place of genuine curiosity, rather than simply throwing things up to get in the way of a policy being implemented. I believe larger trials are required to gather better data, with a view towards expanding the pool of recipients.
