[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4098277, member: 76548"] I like Andrew Yang's rebranded universal basic income, the freedom dividend. But he's really gotta work on being less rigid and robotic - he gave the exact same talk on Bill Maher and NPR Fresh Air. It was word for word. I was actually taken aback by it. It left a poor taste in my mouth, and made him seem kind of like a windup doll. UBI would be a great thing for this country. It provides a safety net that allows people to attempt to do great things, while supplementing those who follow more altruistic pursuits. It will be a reality sooner or later - we can't continue to automate jobs away without something giving. People have a tendency to think our economy isn't all interconnected, and they couldn't be farther from the truth. Without all of these middle class labor jobs, the service economy model doesn't work. People need income to continue to utilize these services, or it's just a house of cards, an economy built of nothing, and with no foundation. [/QUOTE]
