This is one thing I'm worried about. I support #UBI only if it supplements our existing social safety net. Dismantling it in favor of UBI is not something I'd support at all. Yang's team hasn't gotten back to me, and he hasn't gotten back to @dpakman either.
Giving us $1,000 per month sounds great, but 30 years from now when $1,000 isn't worth as much (if it isn't adjusted for inflation) means it's a short-term bandaid over a broader economic problem, and that's if it lasts that long since Yang's sunset law would apply to UBI too.
In the BC interview Yang claims you'd have a choice between UBI or social security / UBI or other social safety net programs. This seems like a huge fucking gimmick. He needs to stop pandering to pepes and come on progressive shows to explain
