I really don’t get the excitement about UBI. The US is not that rich of a country. Giving everyone $1,000 per month will cost $39t per year. US gpd is $21t per year. Maybe 50 or 100 years with some quantum leap in AI or something in likes.

[My bad my math here is bad. Should be $3.9t not $39t. My initial point stands though. It's just too much money.]
