i have a lot of beef with the framing of this video tbh the object of ubi *is to get people more leisure time* using 'higher income' to mean 'better outcome' kind of misses the point the guarantee of the income will ofc induce people to work less, irrespective of the $ amount *thats the point*

i also have to beef with the paltry amounts here 12k/yr isnt a 'basic income' - its glorified beer money i might be no true scotsmanning here, but there is something to this ubi in its radical form is a massive, ongoing downward wealth transfer
