   But nope! It is also a working solution to a problem you described, it don’t create that “poverty trap” because no one will take your money away if you get a job, you just get more money. If you will find a good job, you eventually will contribute to system more than it pay to you.

   This is called the welfare gap. It trivial to solve in either solution. As long as welfare is calculated continuously, rather than in steps, and the amount your welfare goes down is less than the proportion your income goes up, problem solved.

   Also since welfare is conditional on you getting our of welfare it is self solving.

   So this is a moot point.

   Also, i expect the pressure on poor people that they must do something to prove they’re not a camel will have a huge demotivation effect, people will just mimic the activity.

   You’d be wrong. Like I said after years of trying almost every tactic when helping the poor the fact is when I just gave them moneya nd put no conditions on them they literally freeloaded forever. It was only when I paid for their university, gave them real oppertunity, and put conditions on my help that i must seem them progressing that in almost every case the people got out of poverty.

   AS someone myself who was in poverty who also followed that pattern, to me it seems quite obvious what the outcome of UBI is, and its not good.
