Dauphin : In 1974 in Dauphin in Canada, everybody was guaranteed a basic income for four years. Everything went well for four
years then there was a new government. There was no more money to conduct a research so researchers went away. 25 years after
a researcher studied the data. During the experience, people got richer, smarter and healthier. Domestic violence decreased, school
performance increased substantially.

When it comes to poverty, rich stop pretending we know best : we stop sending shoes or things to the poor. UBI is venture capital
for the people. Poverty cost lot of money for the country (500$ billion for a child poverty). TO put USA at the end of poverty cost
115$ billion. Only new mothers stopped working and students who stayed in school longer.
