This experiment has been done a million times and we know it works. The reason capitalists don't do it isn't because they care about efficiency, it's because they want tired slaves.
Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.
#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
