Sounds like fake news. 12+ million bucks, would have to be a heck of a grant.

12+ million bucks,
That's for a single year, the experiment is for up to 5 years. $60M, hey its private money I say have at it. My bet is that within a year most of the participants will trade it for a lump sum in the form of a loan and then blow the money anyway.

Real news. It’s been discussed at Y Combinator for months/years.
Problems with the study:
- The money is donated (as charity), not confiscated (as taxes)
- The number of recipients is so small they won’t affect the economy (vs _everyone_ having $1000/mo and, say, rent jumping to that minimum).
This tests the effectiveness of CHARITY, not UBI.

After Clintonist operating cost, there will only be 5 people in the study and they will all be DNC donors.
