As it turns out unemployment benefits aren't causing massive work reductions either

 You know, I was going to make a post about how basic income is so much better than unemployment benefits because unemployment benefits have tons of perverse incentives built in, whereas UBI doesn't, but the more I researched it the more the data I found kept telling me unemployment expansions aren't causing many work disincentives either. Man, work incentives are far more resilient than I thought they were. Guess the "nobody wants to work any more" thing is a bunch of crap. I'd still argue UBI is a better program for many reasons, but UC doesn't seem as bad as I thought it was either.
