   @scottsantens Interesting. I think of UBI as a periodic payout, but Give Directly's model seems to be favoring lump sum contributions over monthly.

     Don't sleep on these first results from the world's largest universal basic income experiment ever. (23,000 cash recipients with 5,000 getting UBI for 12 years)

     1. Entrepreneurship skyrocketed thanks to the UBI functioning as both startup capital and spending power for people to be customers at those businesses.

     2. NO INFLATION!
