Was there an actual lifetime UBI study done?

I mean... if i was given a livable amount of money for no work for a year or two, my quality of life would go up, but I wouldn't quit my job and move somewhere cheaper (where I could get more for that amount of money).

But if i was guaranteed livable amount of money for the rest of my life, that would be a whole different story.

So you're basing this on your feelings rather than the available data.

What else are we to base opinions on? There is no available data. It doesn't exist. The "data" you're referring to is tripe.

To repeat the point you're replying to - a UBI study that examines human behavior from a set of people who are only guaranteed to be given some livable amount of income for a short period, and not for their entire lives, is completely useless. It isn't actually studying UBI. It's studying "what do people do if I give them $20k or so over a few installments?".

Very boring thing to study. Honestly a waste of time and resources to even bother conducting such a study, the results can be put directly in the rubbish bin.
