If you think that's true then it is, right?
I have dissident rightist view points. I hang out with dissident rightists. I've never once heard them say that UBI is worse than the status quo, and I think pairing UBI with reduced low-skill immigration is something 95% of them could get behind.
Sure, the Paul Ryans and Pelosis of the world might gnash their teeth over UBI but it's something that nearly everyone outside the status quo supports.

- alexanderstears 9y agoAsk them whether they'd prefer UBI or the current system assuming both cost the same.

- alexanderstears 9y agoThey might have fooled you with that answer but that doesn't address the question.
