"It appears some establishment voices have picked up on a way of opposing the
idea of the monthly citizen dividend of about $1,000 per month, known as
universal basic income (UBI), in a way that successfully leaves some
progressively minded people afraid."

Another article on UBI, this time rebutting some objections and making the case
that almost anything would be better than the current US system.
