I am not a UBI guy, but in this situation it makes sense. People cant work because the economy is shut down for a lot of people, but they still have to pay bills. So it works for a short time fix.
I'd rather that UBI money be used in a more focused manner, for mentoring programs, education, food. UBI as Yang proposed it is more like shooting a bullseye with buckshot
I don’t think a UBI is needed right now but it’s possible it will be needed in the future. I had my own issues with his plan, like the VAT.
point being though that 1000 dollar check every month isn’t going to make people quit there jobs or in this case not go back to work.
