I don't read this rag, but I did read the study it's citing because about a dozen other outlets ran the same title. Suprisingly it's not what you think, it actually talks about a check here and there months apart does nothing because people will not spend it if they can afford not to but if it were a guaranteed monthly check then people are more likely to spend it because they know the money is coming back next month. Not the worst or Pro-UBI studies I've seen. However, I'm afraid it will be taken the opposite it was intended by conservatives and moderates, "These are useless, no point in sending them out!"
