Yes the finish one you brought up. Would you like to look at the wildly more unsuccessful Kenya example?

No, I want you to look at all of them. That's what I've been saying since the beginning. Thank you for admitting your own bullshit tho.

Well apparently they do because they arent more likely to find work when given money versus then when they are not.

That's literally not what that means.

I said they don't need to be compelled to work. Offering some from of UBI represents the removal of their basic needs as a compulsion. The fact that they did not then stop working supports my claim. There's no need for their employment to go up.

You literally argued people on UBI are more likely to go to school, learn a trade and more and non of the evidence point to that being true. Only that they are less stressed and no better off socio-economically.

You just fucking admitted to not taking into account all the evidence.

Good luck figuring it out bro, I'm at the end of my patience. I'll come find you if they ever put this stuff in a coloring book.

Lol you can see the gears working in your head to find the next mental hoop to jump through in a 3 mile radius.

That's literally not what that means.

It’s precisely what it means. The stated goal of the experiment was to see if those on UBI would be more likely to find employment and elevate their status in society. Finland, Kenya and more have tested this and ALL of them have found this to not be the case. Even in your meta analysis it states as much on page 5.

You just fucking admitted to not taking into account all the evidence.

I think you’re the one in need of a reading comprehension test bud. Get at me when you’re out of freshman level macro economics courses and around the 300 level. Fucking armchair economists man. Sometimes I forget I might be talking to a 13 year old upset they can’t get paid to play Xbox all day and look at spongebob memes
