I have always been fascinated about this. It isn't UBI by any means, but I am always curious about these "pilot" programs. California did a previous trial in Stockton, CA with $500 checks. You can find more information here: https://www.stocktondemonstration.org/ You can also find the first year of data on their website too.

Ray Dalio did a write up of UBI as well. https://www.economicprinciples.org/downloads/Primer-on-Unive...

Andrew Yang wrote up a good book over the topic with "The War on Normal People" that covers UBI more in depth. His interview with Ben Shapiro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DHuRTvzMFw) and Joe Rogan covers it well also. I like his ideology and it seems well thought out.

We, I, have been so ingrained of thinking that capitalism is the best thing since swiss cheese, and it seems like socialism has some good aspects that we can adopt from as well.
