Finland trialed UBI in 2017-18, giving €560 monthly to 2,000 unemployed people, which improved well-being and reduced stress but didn't boost employment. Kenya's ongoing GiveDirectly experiment shows recipients invest in businesses and education, with little work disincentive. Alaska's oil-funded dividends cut poverty and inequality without harming jobs. Key lessons: UBI fosters security and entrepreneurship over laziness myths, yet full-scale versions demand sustainable funding like resource taxes, as costs can strain budgets without clear efficiency gains over targeted welfare.

Usa, has ubi in alaska. Nobody knows this?

UBI is coming no matter what everywhere. Sooner than you think. Mark this!

@elonmusk thoughts?

your UBI though will probly come with expirable digital currency

Canada did actually a couple of years ago with cerb. It ended up being a disaster!

Seems like it only works small scale where there is a much larger group of producers with a tiny group of takers once that ratio flips its all downhill game over

UBI. Me and 5 friends in early 20's sharing house just partying. UBI will never work, but, if there was a chance it would need to be in a high-trust society where EVERYONE thinks the same ... i.e. if you are able, you work to your highest potential > good luck with that.
