    Yes, however we need to run tests at increasingly large scales to see how those metrics hold up. 3 years is good but doesn’t have the same psychology as “permanent”.

      Curious how such requirements were/are never demanded from any other policy proposal. They were just devised and implemented. If we took 100 years time for testing for every new law, society would come to a total standstill.

      It’s different with UBI though because it goes against the class interests of the ruling bourgeoisie. Demanding ever more tests is a pretext to waste time and never implement UBI. The best test is just implementing it.

        I think testing proportional to the amount of societal change is warranted for any policy, period. That being said, yes, the next “test” is effectively equivalent to the actual implementation.

      This means we need to test in production.

      Testing a universal program on small sample sizes will never give the data we need, so the next step is to implement actual UBI for everyone in an entire country.
