A comment on The evidence behind putting money directly in the pockets of the poor. Parent comment
If that's true, doesn't it also mean UBI won't cost anything? (I realize that's some pretty twisted logic)
Either the amount paid by UBI is meaningful, which means it'll make a difference to people's lives.
Or it's so small as to be meaningless. Which means it won't cost that much per-capita to implement.
(It's late, I haven't thought this through, feel free to downvote if this is completely bonkers :-P)
