Remember the Twitter account that added "in mice" to dramatic paper titles? Maybe we need one that says, "...in Alaska" (no offense to Alaskans) https://www.nber.org/papers/w31733

@philipncohen unless you have a way to get another entire STATE to give UBI to 100% of residents, to verify that this outcome aligns not just with 100% of the existing research on UBI & CW (which relies on smaller data sets by many magnitudes) I suggest being excited that once more, linked records have proven that giving people money solves poverty.

Now, if you want to attack the measures of child abuse used in this quite robust study, go ahead, I'm listening...

@WhatSaraSaid cool cool. No attack. Also, because I know how poverty is defined (even though some people think it's very complicated) I know that giving people money (or removing family members) is the only way to solve poverty by definition.
