This article is complete shit. No actual data thet proves the now misleading title. Some Yank decided to take a shit on an idea that is eventually going to be reality.

I am pro-UBI but this experiment only is I. So "as an experiment" it has failed.

You might want to read TFA. The experiment hasn't started yet and the authors criticise the reduction in scope.

Err, yes that was my point. It's not going to be U or B. So there's no point in calling it a UBI experiment.

Why is the idea eventually going to be a reality? I don't see any data proving your assertion.

Automation is going to cause one of two things, UBI or death. You must pay to survive in current society and work is money, this will not change. If you cannot find work you have no money. UBI or death.
