UBI is the answer but this is the wrong dude
I mean quite possibly and I'm not the most educated but still the idea of this being a concept that is introduced to the American public is exciting. I suspect that it won't even get that far and the public at large will remain as ignorant of the concept of UBI as they always have but if they can even be made aware that such a thing exists then does it matter who proposes it when they'll obviously never get elected anyway? I mean if I were to ask 9 out of 10 people on the street if they had the slightest idea of what UBI was what do you think they would say?
