A pilot in Vancouver that provided unconditional cash to homeless people not only saved more money than it cost, it also reduced drug and alcohol use by 39%. In the India UBI pilot, where entire villages got UBI, drug and alcohol use went down by 12% compared to control villages.

@DrRebeccaO The 39% figure is from the New Leaf pilot. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame… The 12% figure is from the India pilot. It's in the book. amzn.to/3UdjbYa
