>mainstream, who currently despise "Unemployment benefits"
Got a cite for this? I've never heard of anyone who was against the US type of Unemployment Insurance, since to be eligible for it, you have to have been working for some time.

That is one of the biggest problems with UBI - how do you keep it universal?

- thriftwy 9y agoIf it was me, I don't despise UB, I just note that it's divisive. You are either in, and obligated to not work, or you're out.
