    The issue with Yang is that he’s proposing cutting other social safety nets and replacing them with UBI which would put a lot of people in worse situations. UBI would be great but we also need robust social programs.

      I’ve been reliant on social programs and found them severely lacking. They’re bureaucracy at their worst, and I’m lucky to be able to navigate through it - it seems those who need the help the most are the least able to receive it. They’re wasteful too, I would rather the funds go directly to people who need it rather than feeding the middleman.
