This video goes over multiple studies and meta analyses that show that, in every single case where it's been tried, social spending, including UBI, always pays for itself in the long run, and UBI specifically never leads to people just not working. It leads to people finding jobs more their style. And y'know something? The "undesirable" jobs still get done, because there are genuinely people that want to do them.
