I have to confess I haven't read this thread in its entirety, though I did get a good way down it. I didn't see any mention of potential inflationary effects, supply and demand imbalance etc. Was anything recorded on these issues in places where trials were done?

I've had a quick read through and will go through it more slowly and watch the videos later. In Britain we have a big issue with house price inflation which tends to sop up any spare cash in the economy. Looking at UBI as part of a package which reviews taxation and price controls makes more sense.
