Hard agree on all points. It's a bit of a bummer that Andrew yang of all people was the one to start the national conversation about UBI because his whole deal just pollutes the discussion from the jump

Kind of like what Bernard Sandman did. He introduced people to a bastardized version of socialism but that still got people talking.
