    Yeah! I wanted to specifically call out the study on UBI with formerly incarcerated people.

    I know a lot of pushback on UBI is that it will make people lazy, or emboldened criminals. It has the exact opposite effect.

      I believe that’s manufactured pushback tbh. People who are overworked might think it would make themselves lazy. At first, maybe? To get your thoughts in order, it might look lazy. But most people who feel safe with a steady income want to be productive.
