I was against a UBI on matter of principle but I thought it an interesting idea. I heard Andrew Yang talk about it in detail and found position was well articulated and he made a number of good argument. I wouldn't say I support a UBI but I give it more credibility now. It is a very interesting concept.

Conclusion
We estimate three ways to finance a Universal Basic Income program: with deficits, a payroll tax and with transfers funded by external sources. Under all three scenarios, a Universal Basic Income program dampens hours worked, capital services, GDP and Social Security revenues.

I might be able to squeeze by with a UBI of $2000 a week.

Only as long as it's nontaxable.
