Yes, I even mentioned that in my comment, the problem is actually implementing the system. It's all well and good to say "UBI" but getting it past the lobbyists and through Congress is another thing. I'm trying to understand how we get there, not the end goal, since that's obvious.
A bunch of rich people want UBI for some reason. It's very simple unlike say healthcare so it is harder to stealthily undermine, which is the main tactic of unpopular lobbying. So it has probably more of a chance than other stuff at the same scale.
