Alaska already has UBI, yet people continue to work in Alaska.


Alaska doesn't have UBI. The dividend doesn't even cover the increased cost of living of Alaska relative to the rest of the US, let alone the entire cost of living. UBI is supposed to be consistent, but Alaska's dividend is heavily dependent on the price of oil.


Because they need to pay people to stay in Alaska, also becaues they have oil money.
