New Research Shows UBI Makes Life Worse ... BUT WHY?! (Money Is Good Right?)

In this episode of Base Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive deep into the latest research and real-world case studies on Universal Basic Income (UBI). They discuss why recent experiments and studies show that cash handouts and guaranteed income programs often fail to deliver the promised improvements in well-being, employment, and poverty reduction. Drawing on examples from Native American tribes, major UBI studies, and historical work programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps, they explore the complex relationship between income, work, and happiness. The conversation also touches on media coverage, policy implications, and the future of social programs in an AI-driven world.
