Hundreds of comments at Breitbart laughing at the "failed experiment".

The only fail was not fact checking.

Finland Abandons Universal Basic Income Experiment After Two Years


DEBUNKED:

Quote:Finland's basic income organisers correct inaccurate media reports of trial's premature death

Finland's social insurance agency says the country's basic income experiment is alive and well, and will be continued to its completion at the end of this year.

Many international media outlets have been very keen on reporting about Finland's two-year test run of Universal Basic Income (UBI) ever since the trial began more than a year ago.

However, according to the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela), many of those media outlets appear to have misunderstood recent developments in the trial.

Nice job KB

Fact checking seems to be a lost art, I'll lay odds this correction gets ignored as it doesn't fit the narrative, but A+ for effort Octo and Jay.

Thanks for this.

Lots of fake news these days. Thanks for pointing this out.

Agenda first, facts are secondary, but these outlets owe it to their readers to make correct this. Not certain how this was a story to start with as nothing has changed, and the experiment continues.

I'm skeptical, what is yle.fi? Never hear of it.
