Fresh results from another basic income pilot. This one took place in San Antonio, Texas where 1,000 people got a $1,908 payment in Dec 2020, followed by 8 quarterly $400 payments between Apr 2021 and Jan 2023. What happened? Incomes from work went up. That's a commonly observed impact BTW.

businessinsider.com

San Antonio experimented with giving people $5,108 no-strings-attached. They spent it on housing and school supplies for their kids.

San Antonio, Texas is one of several US cities piloting basic income programs to assist low-income residents with housing and combat poverty rates.
