    This is what scares me about UBI. Yang’s plan was going to hurt (or just not benefit) a lot of families in New York, Massachusetts, California, and other net-producing locations. The list of those least-benefitting from a UBI matches the list of areas with the highest poverty and homelessness rate. That, to me, is unacceptable.

    The moment you have a UBI plan that poor has to contribute to and then opt out of, you just have another system that’s screwing the poor.
