These people tie generosity to government. I remember in 2016 so many Bernie supporters acted as if they were moral and righteous for supporting the free stuff campaign. Ask them what they do with their own money to help the poor. Also I think teaching someone to fish is helping the poor more than having them depend on you for a fish everyday
Most of the same people who supported Bernie didn't even acknowledge Yang either, despite his biggest platform being a straight up UBI. Probably the largest step forward towards socialism and all its assorted programs we could have taken.
Almost like they don't actually care about the ideology, just the trappings of it. And since Yang was popular with a lot of non-Left people he was verboten.
I can respect Yang. I know Milton Friedman got behind the idea of UBI if you got rid of all other social spending
And eliminate minimum wage, because it's a market distorting price floor, and shouldn't be necessary if there's UBI.
