- It says that 3/4 of people kept working; to me, that seems like a big drop.
- Data is based on a survey of people in the program; I distrust data from surveys on principle.
- There seems to have been a reduction in the payment as they earned money, so its not really UBI as typically advocated.

I believe previous UBI experiments have shown the same results: most people keep working, some people stop, but they usually have decent reasons. Education, extending parental leave, or being a caregiver aren't necessarily things we want to discourage if they result in a greater return.

Greater return than what and to whom?
We already have existing labor markets that are very capable of determining returns.
