When you give people free money they tend to do.. nothing.

From the post:

>Last year, I wrote about the OpenResearch Unconditional Income Study (ORUS), an experiment in which lower-income Americans were given $1,000 a month for three years—a short-term test run of proposals for a universal basic income (UBI). The results were pretty much what common sense would predict: relative to a control group (paid $50 a month for their continued participation), the subsidized group worked somewhat less, devoted a bit more time to leisure activities, and spent more money on health care without seeing significantly improved health outcomes.

A few examples. In Compton, recipients of a $500 monthly payment enjoyed lower debt, but those working part-time at the beginning of the study stopped working in significant numbers.

Hand out shit to niggers and they stop working.

What did they think was going to happen? You gave them free money so they decided they didn't have a reason to work anymore. This would happen with every single nog in the country if they got UBI while they would also apply for housing assistance and EBT/SNAP.

All while they shit out more nogs to get more benefits while looting the country any time they get a chance.
