Here's one for you, bro! I bet you can get into that for less than $1000 a month.

Looks like you should be pulling for Yang!

No.
Part of the argument for UBI is to do away with then pricey bureaucracy that runs those programs.
Also, to take away the disincentive for people to take part time jobs and work there way back into the work force.. As it is now, any money that is made results in a decrease in benefits.
