If it was voted down, I'm guessing it was because to the extent that it's a fact, it's trivially true, and there's nothing insightful about the defeatist take. It's possible to do more harm than good doing pretty much anything. And the world is littered with problems that are not "fully solvable" but that we've mitigated greatly.

consider the following hypothetical situation:

lets say your car tires pop.

Person A: "I will paint your car tires red. That will fix them."

Person B: "painting my flat car tires red wont fix them."

Person C: "well youre just being defeatest. we have to do something".

Person B: "..."

Literally every. single. study. run. says otherwise.

History is littered with failed nation-states promising to end poverty.

Spawning money creates nothing.

That study is about the impact on labor supply, not the usefulness of UBI.
