There are lots of studies about monetary incentives and productivity. General conclusion: not that important past a certain point.
Bogus. These studies evaluate financial incentives for people working in their existing jobs. A better question would be to evaluate incentives that drive initial career decisions. In other words, why does a 22 year old want to go to medical school and be a doctor? What makes a person decide to be a lawyer, or accountant, or plumber?

According to my own non-scientific, but completely accurate and reliable study, a major driving force in career decision making is long-term financial security.

I don't think I'm just speaking for myself when I say: I'd much rather work in my field for minimum wage than as a cashier for twice my wage.
you are certainly not speaking for the majority.

So how's that working out for you guys?
Fine.

That's great. That's how it should be imo.
So why do we need UBI?
