You are asking me to disregard heaps of peer reviewed research because you ran into a lazy retiree once.
So a retiree that doesn’t work is now lazy? Does that mean by extension that a UBI recipient that doesn’t work is also lazy?
Re. the pilot studies, I don’t believe that the behavior elicited by a short term study automatically extends to a lifetime UBI.
As a counterexample I have suggested looking at pensioners, particularly healthy early retirees. If our working-age population experienced a fraction of the productivity loss that we see in healthy early retirees, we would not be able to fund our current expenses, such as healthcare, let alone a UBI on top of that.

Tell us more anecdotes from the early 80s boomer.
She retired last year, making her Gen X. I am younger than her.
Not that any of that makes any difference: people stop working as soon as they have the means to do so.
Since you have resorted to personal insults it is safe to assume that you have ran out of actual arguments. Thank you for the conversation.

But I’m the one running out of actual arguments?
