There probably isn't much danger that Finns will stop working if they get a basic income. The bigger risk is that the government won't be able to pay for it.

Quote verified via web search. The exact text "There probably isn't much danger that Finns will stop working if they get a basic income. The bigger risk is that the government won't be able to pay for it." appears in Leonid Bershidsky's Bloomberg View article from November 2015, titled "Finns May Get Paid for Being Finns." The article was syndicated to Jewish World Review and IOL Business Report. The Bloomberg source URL could not be fetched directly (paywall), but the quote and attribution are confirmed through search results and syndicated copies. Vote alignment: "against" on "Implement a universal basic income" is appropriate — while Bershidsky dismisses the argument that Finns would stop working, his main concern is the fiscal unsustainability of UBI (costing 52.2B EUR/year vs 49.1B EUR projected revenue), making the overall stance skeptical/against.
