The guy who came up with the idea of UBI was a communist Louisiana governor/senator who was responsible for building Tiger Stadium and writing many of LSU's songs.
Before Andrew Yang's 2020 campaign, I had only heard of the UBI as a historic relic from the 1930s, and had no idea that anybody seriously supported the idea in the third millenium.

I certainly don't. But it's in the news a lot with all the AI talk, so I thought it deserved a discussion from an "academic" standpoint.
I don't see a scenario where it would ever work. What will likely happen is that more entitlements will be paid under the guise of "UI" but it will basically just be more welfare.
