For those who are not aware, GiveDirectly is a charity, not some kind of government agency. If you are pro-UBI, put your money where your mouth is and help with the experiment by donating.

It's quite possible to be pro-UBI but not think that exogenous charity provides a decent model for studying UBI, which is an endogenous transfer program, or that Kenya is a relevant model for the kind of places one is most concerned about implementing UBI.
