Basic Income study: What was the effect of giving 1000 poor people in Texas and Illinois an extra $1000/month?
I'm not usually a fan of Sam Altman, but this is something cool he funded.
This study gave 1,000 people in Texas and Illinois $1,000/month over 3 years and collected large amounts of data on employment, health, housing, schooling, time use, entrepreneurship, and more.
The results are remarkable, a very strong argument for universal basic income.
