  • The actual numbers:

    For every $1 given to each of the 1000 test subjects, income dropped by $0.12 cents on average. That means that the overall drop in pay was $12 per month, or less than 2 hours per month, at minimum wage.

    Now, let’s extrapolate more info from this:

    Prior to receiving $1000 per month, the average income was $30,000 per annum , which is ~$14.42 an hour. This means that the average number of hours worked dropped less than an hour a month.

    The reporting you are sharing is amazingly biased, with sensationalistic headlines determined to skew views against UBI.

    Source for my numbers.








  • I’ll respond to you directly about why you decided to comment a month after my comment. You were given a ban in !news@lemmy.world, for saying “Talk shit get shot.” about someone shooting former U.S. President Trump.

    Number 1, that’s a rule violation of the community. Number 2, that’s advocating assassination. Number 3, we are in damage control mode right now, so we are handing out 1-day bans like candy to keep on top of moderation of a thread about one of the biggest political events in many of the reader’s lifetimes.

    If you have a problem with that, I really don’t care.
