Only if we continue to be dumbasses

We need to take universal basic income more seriously as a future policy

In my experience there are two groups of people who don't take UBI seriously.

  1. Rich boomers.
  2. People (mostly but not all, conservatives) who consume media paid for and engineered by rich boomers.
