summary

Claims that UBI moved from niche to mainstream after Andrew Yang, with more than 70 representatives backing a $2,000/month emergency stipend, get matched to concrete pandemic data: about 30 million unemployed and tens of thousands of New York deaths cited, plus CDC projections of daily deaths. Discussion covers actual tools used so far — Payroll Protection Program, EIDL loans, stimulus checks — and argues for testing blockchain UBI pilots and crypto payment rails as a delivery mechanism.
