It would be good to know how this works on a larger scale. Like, everyone in a city or county having UBI and watching to see what society and the local economy as a whole does in response.
Look at the stimulus checks and how they measurable gains up and down the economy and living conditions.
And measure that was temporary from the very beginning, yet still resulted in contributing to increases in the cost of living everywhere.
Check out Kenya, they have the largest and longest running experiment.
