I'm a simple emigrant and I want to receive 1200 euros every month just like that

Sounds good, right? For this you only have to be among the 120 lucky people who will receive this amount monthly for three years. Conditions: be over 18 and provide a detailed report on how this money affected your life. Neither gender, nor social status, nor education matters; moreover, you won't even have to pay tax on this amount. This idea originated with German researchers, as they want to test whether basic unconditional income from the state will affect people's lives, and if so, how. Because the sample will be as broad as possible (not only those in need, but everyone), one will be able to understand whether this money helps people spend more time with family or spend their resources on social work and charity, or perhaps people will simply spend more time lounging on the couch in front of the TV. In some participants in the experiment, it is planned to take a hair sample to analyze the stress hormone levels and how they change. Besides this unprecedented windfall, the uniqueness of the experiment also lies in the fact that the money for it is not provided by the state, but by investors through crowdfunding. Thus, together with the German Institute for Economic Research, the University of Cologne, and the Max Planck Society, scientists will be able to study how a €43,000 grant, provided as a gift, would affect life in society, specifically in a developed country; this is an important detail. I have already submitted an application, spending only a couple of minutes. If there are readers among you who live in Germany—join: https://www.pilotprojekt-grundeinkommen.de/ #useful
