Very interesting. Some actual data to go with all the political bluster surrounding the idea of a Universal Basic Income.

There is a lot of data out there in the US, they're trying it in a lot of places.

curious where Alaska's pfd falls on the scale, or if it isn't counted because it isn't consistent or part of a controlled study.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember a study going around, but I don't know enough about it to comment.
