> UBI was an experiment carried out during COVID and all it did...

I would not put the one-time covid cheques on par with the various rigorous UBI and/or free housing experiments that have been run over the last 30 years

But the COVID cheques were the only ones done at a scale comparable enough to what a UBI programme would look like in the US, one that could inform government on what usage would look like.

Free housing is just another form of UBS that I was talking about.
