Universal Basic Income: Not Free Money, But a Freer Life

A German study shows Universal Basic Income (UBI) didn't create laziness, but improved mental health, autonomy, and generosity. Even with a €1200 monthly payment, employment rates remained unchanged; instead, it encouraged people to seek more fulfilling work. UBI also increased savings, donations, and sharing, boosting women's autonomy. With AI causing mass programmer layoffs, UBI is a concept the US should consider, as evidenced by Alaska's oil revenue sharing program.
