Yeah, I just think UBI will eventually become a thing that is needed. If we keep producing less and less in our country and automating more and more, it will soon become necessary to at least be able to boost lower tier jobs to at least poverty threshold levels and provide a low floor safety net for folks. They are even automating away grocery store and fast food jobs lately.

My support for future UBI is dependent upon two things. One, it not having open-ended increases for multiple children, so having more children for the money can't be a thing. Two, it replaces all the current support programs, taking dozens of various different government aid programs and consolidating it into just UBI.

Honestly I hadn't really given it a ton of thought before this election when I was listening to some stuff Yang said during the primaries.
