    Would you just stop working?

    This argument is always brought up when it comes to universal basic income or free housing. It was disproven every time it was tested, but people still believe that everyone else will just stop working if they weren’t punished for being alive anymore.

      Do you recognize that these sorts of initiatives can have long term affects that are not accurately understood in a small sample sized study over a short period of time?

        Yes. But what we do now does absolutely not work so I would give stuff that was tested and works in a small sample size a shot.

          It was disproven

          You said it was disproven, how can something be disproved if you only tested it during a really short time period? Maybe you meant to say “evidence suggests” but that’s much different than something being disproven

            Again, you are correct, but you already said that and it changes nothing about what I said in the second comment.

            What is your point?

              My point is that you said the argument has been disproven when I believe it has yet to be fully understood.
