This is all very true but UBI isn't the solution.
The middle class can win this game with a perspective change. Instead of saddling their kids with school loans and pressuring them to "get a job" right out of school, they should give them 5 years where they "angel" them in their own houses for a stake in the company. Get four young sharp kids a couple of years with no bills to pay and I bet they could create something viable.
This is the difference. Entrepreneurs need funding and encouragement. Parents could play this role instead of VCs and they could bank big when funding comes. You don't need $MM to fund a start-up if you approach it will bootstrap principles.

- ilaksh 6y agoThat's the point though. You do need money for a startup and rich kid's parents give it to them.
