every UBI study has had positive results, but let's run a few more just to be sure..

Well the interesting thing about this article is that it's about a pair of bills, one in the HoC and one in the Senate, to implement a program rather than a study.

There’s a difference between pilot programmes and full implementations

People can’t afford things as is and companies raised their prices just because so imagine how they’d feel with the excuse of UBI

The flip side is they raise prices anyway so you might as well have UBI
