Good news in my opinion. The amount is $1,320 a month. A not unreasonable amount. I love seeing trials like this, it is the kind of basic research in this that we need.
And make no mistake, massive technological unemployment is coming.

If you believe that massive technological unemployment is coming - should our immigration policies be reformed to not accept millions of low skill people?
Why on Earth would I get a job if I can make $8.25/hr sitting at home playing on my iPad? Is basic income eligibility determined by family income or household income? If it's just family income that would be a huge disincentive to get married.

First off, I think it is individual, and is not means tested, it is unconditional. Second, good luck affording a place to live and your other expenses with that money if you don't work. I would still work, that would only cover my rent and car payment

Huh? Not everyone will get $1300/month. The workers who are made poorer and forced to fund the scheme are whom I refer to.
You've not addressed what I said in any meaningful way.
