Universal basic income to be tested in Wales
Interesting how political parties are for or against this pilot project before the results are known. What happened to gathering evidence first and then making up one's mind? There have been other projects in Canada, Finland,Kenya and the Netherlands, all with “positive” results.It is useful to ask what you are trying to achieve with an UBI?* lift people out of poverty?* save money on other social schemes, like pensions, disability payments, schooling or housing subsidies?* save money on secondary effects of poverty (like lower average health, or more mental and psychological problems)?* make everyone's life “better” (if so, define better)?* boost the economy?I am going to conduct my own personal UBI experiment starting February 2022. I will be gifted €1.000 per month for 48 months... and I am thinking about maybe blogging or vlogging or instagramming about my experiences.... Any suggestions from the HN crowd?
