The article says that BI doesn't affect employment % as if it is a bad thing.

The fact that it did not decrease employment either is a wonderful thing, and should be celebrated.

It means that Finland can use BI as a replacement for a number of other social services, and drive the cost of state support for unemployment significantly. This is excellent!

I love your take on this. Yes, receiving free money does not dissuade people from working. It only lowers stress: knowing that you now have a “f you” income means you can say “no more” to an abusive employer.
