I think UBI is necessary but it’s about where you get it. Just making up and printing money for it is like when I was a kid and thought that you could just write checks and create money. We need to move money from the ultra wealthy and corporations to UBI. It’s actually astounding Americans repeatedly vote for the exact opposite to happen. Maybe the midterms can be a turning point.

I also think UBI is necessary, but I don't have a political agenda on how to force people funding it. Maybe it's me growing in a communist country and hating it to death (communism, socialism and all the variants that treat people like cattle "for the greater good").
