Researchers provided some Americans with $1,000 a month for 3 years to explore the Universal Basic Income concept (a quick look at UBI). Here is the full story, and briefly:
We do see significant reductions in stress, mental distress, and food insecurity during the first year, but those effects fade out by the second and third years of the program… Cash alone cannot address challenges such as chronic health conditions, lack of childcare, or the high cost of housing
Remember that my post where you voted 46🍌 for UBI and just 15🍓 against it? Strawberry supporters have an edge now since “the free money transfer did not improve participant’s long-run financial position” according to the $60M study
Do you banana-folks still believe that AI companies should finance humans affected by AI?
