Andrew Yang made the case for UBI in hia book, The War On Normal People.
He claimed we could give each American $1,000 while cutting expenses. To be honest, I thought he made compelling arguments.
Then the lockdowns happened. Trump talked to Yang. Tried UBI, signed is name on the "stimmy checks."
That's when I realized the error in Yang's plan. The government is not capable of UBI without pushing the money printer button.
