“Comma-la” unfortunately doesn’t help much for people without US accents lol (though of course people in the US are who the question and answer are most relevant to). On first reading – without the accent or something close to it – it implies “kom-uh-luh”, whereas with the accent it implies something more like “kah-muh-luh”, just based on how people pronounce “comma” differently.

That is indeed the very first criteria listed in the sidebar, despite you being showered in downvotes for saying it.

This one worked for me, useful if wanting to share the story elsewhere:

Actual summary:

• The article’s focus is: lump sum payment vs regular payment.
• Program had three groups: $20/month for 2 years, $500 lump sum, $20/month for 12 years.
• Lump sum allowed people to invest (e.g., to start a business) in a way that monthly payments didn’t.
• Monthly recipients often pooled funds in rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) to provide a lump-sum-like investment ability.
• Monthly recipients were “generally happier and reported better mental health” than lump sum recipients. Articles quotes speculation of cause to be stress related to investment vs the stability from having monthly payment.
• “The researchers found no evidence that any of the payments discouraged work or increased purchases of alcohol”.

While you’re free to circlejerk about how the article shows how great UBI is, that’s not really what it talks about.
