Complexity + assumptions. There are too many variables and unknowns to make even a reasonably accurate model. Also, you're dealing with rational and non- ratio

Complexity + assumptions. There are too many variables and unknowns to make even a reasonably accurate model. Also, you're dealing with rational and non- rational actors and the creation of new actors as time moves forward. Cute analysis though.
- grimtrigger 13y agoI think thats one of the most important points of the article. People who argue definitively one way or the other on basic income are simply making assumptions they can not logically make. I hope some country/state out there tries out an experiment with basic income (just not mine). Politically, I don't think it will happen. A few poor people getting benefits cuts will ring a lot more loudly than middle class and rich people getting benefits raises.
