So your take is: let's throw all those other studies from other countries in the bin then, because it clearly just comes down to 'mindset'. Wat

Except studies consistently show UBI counterintuitively incentivizes those on it to work: 'Finland is the only country to have carried out a nationwide, randomised control trial of UBI. The evaluation found that people receiving basic income were more likely to be in work than those in the control group.'

Also, having a secure financial footing is remarkably effective at alleviating mental health issues and promoting overall wellbeing, leading to more people in the workforce and more people contributing to the economy (ideally, this would benefit everyone but, you know, Neoliberalism...).

Bit of a knee jerk reaction, my man.

Try not calling them 'wage cucks' and you may get shat on less.

Because the Riddler actually had a valid point regarding the corruption infecting the city's elites. If the scriptwriter had followed this chain of thought, Batman would have ended up fully siding with the Riddler and potentially giving all his money away to fund social progress and equity.

Obviously instead the Riddler went mental and Batman gets to keep his wee belt.
