        Bad idea. Basic standards of living needed. Not basic income. Healthcare, edu, food, housing, childcare. @JayStephens @calestous @cblatts

        I would suggest it applies mostly countries that robots replace humans. Poor countries need jobs not UBI, imo

        on the contrary, poor countries may 'leap frog' w/ robot/AI technology to compete globally, then UBI may apply

        UBI "for the poor" misses the point entirely. Universal basic income would go to all citizens.

        your argument against UBI is that there is no political support. But rich elite will never support wealth redistribution
