There are other policies he's proposed

Yes like shilling for dreamers

The one where illegal immigrants have to wait twenty years before they get their citizenship

> illegal

> getting citizenship

choose one

do I have to close my eyes?

UBI ends up being a pretty big economic stimulator

It’s not a crazy idea

But would definitely require reworking the way we currently do the social safety net

At the end of the day Yang isn't going to win the presidential race so, at this point, UBI is just a thought experiment

The only thing UBI simulates is simulating foreign countries

*stimulates

no it is simulating foreign countries

not stimulating

How much $1000 can do in a different country

will have them larping as USA Lite

So is it an economic stimulator or simulator

Why would it stimulate foreign countries

Because why do you think some people come to America?

I mean if the US did it

Better opportunity. Help their family in their native country

There are all sorts of reasons people come to America

Ok, sure

$1000/month would already

make a lot of people happy

At would a UBI hurt that

?

The whole point of Yang's UBI is to stimulate OUR economy

but instead you're going to have it hemorrhaging toward other's economy

Countries that were reliant on the US Dollar now becomes heavily reliant on the US dollars now

Why

Explain the mechanism behind why that would happen please

Are you suggesting vast number of people take their UBI money and send it to friend or family in foreign countries?

Or just foreign consumer spending?

UBI is too radical for the US govt

like that shit will quickly get shutdown at congress

like cosby said, UBI is the future but americans aren't ready for it yet

Political winds shift pretty quickly.

Get used to it

Pioneers like trump are guiding us in the right direction.
