The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out!

122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo

They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.
