It's a crime to not have universal basic income at this point. People aren't only unable to afford basic living expenses, but they're losing jobs to automation and AI already. What are these people supposed to do? Go beg on the streets?

Every study of UBI has been overwhelmingly positive also every study of UBI has ended without enacting UBI. They will continue to study it until they get the answer they want.

Until it is peer reviewed and points out the glaring errors, which will promptly be ignored.

Why don't you stop and smell the roses?

Jumping to such a conclusion, then blaming the hypothetical reaction, displays ignorance or malice.

I’m pretty sure they meant that “the result they want” (“UBI is bad”) would be peer reviewed and shown to be bunk, but the people who wanted that result will ignore the peer review results.

They weren’t disagreeing with the original comment, just adding to it.

If so, then my reaction was ignorant and I retract it :)
