I commented elsewhere that this happened to me. I might be an anecdote to you but I'm living out a case study from my perspective. I actually fully support things like a UBI but we can't ignore the problems it creates and damage it will cause. I know a huge point of the UBI is a lack of means testing but even Andrew Yang's proposal included an basic age cutoff.

Personally I think we need to accept that there should be some means testing but it just dictates whether the individual has control of the funds today or whether it goes into a trust that can only be used on specific things (food, shelter, recovery programs, etc.) and becomes completely available after some conditions are met (like a retirement fund).

Were you the recipient of a program like this? If not in what way are living out a case study?
