UBI Got a Rebrand. The Data Still Said No.

17 minutes

The best U.S. cash experiments still can't prove giving people money durably improves health or child outcomes. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley pick up their UBI rebrand mid-series: Dave proposes literal shares in America, dividends tied to the AI and data economy already built on public information. Jerremy renames the whole concept the Citizen Capital program, hoping shared ownership sells better than a handout ever could. Chris Rimbal predicted money itself might not exist within 20 years. Then two doctors arrive with the actual data: cash helps, but it isn't the single answer either host hoped to find.
