Economics is not a science perhaps? ;)

UBI - Iran became the first country to introduce a system of UBI in
December 2010.[94][95] It was paid to all citizens and replaced the
gasoline subsidies, electricity, and some food products,[96] that the
country applied for years to reduce inequalities and poverty. The sum
corresponded in 2012 to approximately US$40 per person per month,
US$480 per year for a single person, and US$2,300 for a family of five
people.[97][98]

Thank you for proving my point. Enormous number of iranians are moving away from iran, and immigration is extremely small, if non-existant, despite the paradise of UBI. ;)
Also had a look and couldn't find one, long-term _universal_ income scheme on that site.
Yet, for some reason, politicians (mostly socialist) insist on trying, despite all evidence that it does not work and actually makes things worse given todays societies and current technological level.
