- chillacy 8y agoMaybe mention what aspect you find bad (I mean there are definitely weaknesses and unknowns), and why the explanations on his policy site don't have you convinced: https://www.yang2020.com/what-is-ubi/ https://www.yang2020.com/what-is-ubi/ It goes over the common ones like how will we pay for it, is this too soon, will this cause inflation, will people not be incentivized to work, etc.

The how to pay for it, while important, isn’t even a big concern for me. I think how to pay for it is a moot point.
