Re-unification has worked out very poorly for the West Germans.
If they know they’re Guinea pigs and are being monitored, that will influence their behavior too.
“The aim is to gain a scientific understanding on how people’s behavior and attitudes change when they receive money regularly without conditions, reported Spiegel who interviewed DIW researcher Jürgen Schupp.”

Wait... isn’t this called ‘welfare’?
We already KNOW what happens. A bunch of people who need it are overwhelmed by the bunch of people who sit on their asses and become unproductive for GENERATIONS.
There was a TV documentary of one family that got a million dollars per year- the matriarch had as many kids as she could, from age 15, collecting more money each time she had a kid. Those kids grew up and started have their own at ag 15... eventually they were all living in a mansion paid for with welfare.
so..basically a socialist government screws things up so badly no new business will ever open .....so to camouflage their idiocy and ineptitude they pay the peons and peasants not to notice?
sounds about right
Per the last paragraph of the article, 140,000 private donors coughed up the money for this “study”.

Gonna be an unpopular opinion but hear me out. I’m actually less opposed to UBI than I used to be...
Ok now before you all start throwing tomatoes at me, the way I see it, IF we are going to have some kind of social program, I like that this is money that goes straight to people, like the stimulus checks earlier this year. I’d rather have that than giving vast sums to the Department of Education or Department of Housing and Urban Development, where who even knows where the money is really going to after all the bureaucracy—but I can probably bet it’s not going to anything making people better off.
In a perfect world, I’d rather have less social programs altogether, but since we’ve crossed that bridge a long time ago, I’d be okay with making heavy cuts in the bureaucracies in exchange for a moderated form of direct payments as a social safety net. Now if it turns into what Kamala wants where it’s just a way to drain the productive class and reward the welfare class, then of course I’m going to oppose it.
Hello Venezuela.
