lazy and poor



Did you watch the whole video? The studies reviewed later in the video did include groups of hundreds of people, definitely better than anecdotal stories about so-called lazy people that the presenter knows. The quality of the studies presented were pretty good -- the first one had random selection, which is the best you can do. I think this was even mentioned in Freaknomics, https://freakonomics.com/podcast/is-the-world-ready-for-a-guaranteed-basic-income-update/ . The thing not mentioned in this video or in the Freakonomics podcast is the issue of inflation. I.e., giving everybody money may end up pushing prices up. I would've like that addressed. This video also didn't mention Richard Nixon's attempt at UBI, but the Freakonomics episode did.
