      There are other comments on this chain hours older than mine with sources. But sure, I’ll take a jab at it just for you.

      The pilot programs have created scores of stories like Everett’s about how a small amount of money led to massive change in a recipient’s life. And a growing body of research based on the experiments shows that guaranteed income works — that it pulls people out of poverty, improves health outcomes, and makes it easier for people to find jobs and take care of their children. If empirical evidence ruled the world, guaranteed income would be available to every poor person in America, and many of those people would no longer be poor.

      We’ve known for years, decades really.

        That’s true, but my original point is that we shouldn’t state facts without sources. Otherwise, it’s very easy to sneak falsehoods, or to twist that research to fit a narrative.

          Except this really is well reported. It’s not obscure or contested in science. It’s not really what asking for sources is supposed to be for.
