I think its a good time to start a conversation about Universal Basic Income. It seems like most politicians are against it. In fact, Bernie Sanders recently abandoned any support for UBI and instead is going all in on a jobs guaranteed.
There is a good thread on Twitter from Scott Santens on why a job guarantee is the wrong way to go.

We have been becoming more productive and still working 40 hours a week without higher hourly compensation. We need to shift the power back to the people.
I think UBI is the best way to go forward but with any major policy shift I can't be 100% it will work.
I'm shocked that more progressives are not for it though. Please tell me what I am missing.
