Very controversial, indeed. It is difficult to predict how this sort of basic 'reassurance" to survive can impact in the possibilities or willingness of people in need, to overcome their problems for themselves or, on the contrary, it creates dependency for the assistance, becoming in a unsustainable liability for the rest of the society. Either way, It deserves further and careful analysis, not only for its benefits to very needed people, but also to avoid or minimize its negative 'externalities' when or if implemented.

Yeah, it cannot be determined exactly how it will play out. Some people may get lazy and stop working altogether. Some may use the opportunity to pursue really meaningful goals that could benefit the country as well. I agree that it needs more analysis and experimentation.
