  Your analysis is rigged just as much. It was not a rigged study, it was asking a specific question, because that’s how research work.

  Would you prefer it if they specifically selected drug addict and long term unemployed people? But what would that experiment show? Absolutely nothing, unless you happen to not know yet what drugg addiction or depression do to people.

  When you say it was rigged, you demonstrate that you don’t understand the question that was tested in the experiment.

  That’s not what rigged means. And either you didn’t understand the selection process or you don’t want to understand it because you are against the idea of the UBI

  That’s irrelevant to the question here. Here the question is how would people live their lives depending on the variation of the UBI. They still pay taxes. It’s no different than government money.

  The question you are asking is where the money will come from. Or how will the government finance this. It’s not a difficult question to solve, except for liberals who hate taxes more than anything else on earth.

  Also the billions they make in profit is not going to compensate anyone. And the billions they invest on share markets and lobbying to make the society more like they want is definitely not to the benefit of the society either.

  Hahaha look at the steam stats for example before talking shit.

  The media outrage was disproportionate and completely disconnected from how it actually worked. It was a success from the start. As you said, the fumble was on consoles mostly.

  It’s certainly good though that they worked so long to make it even better IMO.
