    Universal Basic Income is a hot topic, with supporters advocating it as a tool to reduce poverty and job displacement, and skeptics cautioning about potential fiscal instability and reduced work incentives. What experiences or models can help us understand the real-world impacts of UBI?

    I think a Universal Basic Income could be a game changer—helping folks in tough times and giving everyone a safety net as the job market changes. Still, I’m a bit skeptical about the economic side of things; it needs to be carefully managed so it doesn’t backfire. I’d support a well-planned, transparent pilot program to see how it really pans out before rolling it out everywhere.
