I just learned that Yang& #39;s "UBI" is $2,000 for the entire year, in NYC. While cutting homeless services, and funding more cops. This man must be joking.
Call it what it is at least. It& #39;s one stimulus check for an entire year, not UBI. At all. While *defunding social services*

Just to clarify, giving the 500,000 lowest income New Yorkers a check for $2,000 would, in isolation, be a great thing. But instead of cutting it from, say, the NYPD, he& #39;s planning to cut from the exact services these folks need! And he& #39;s calling it UBI, when it& #39;s simply not.
