I'm talking in the bigger picture. UBI just isn't popular because it is has no chance of ever happening. Sure, its popular with those who like the idea, because they are already sold on it working regardless of evidence to counter the narrative. They are the anti-vaxxers of economic concepts.

For clarity, my comment regarding UBI for right now being popular was in reference to it being popular for those that advocate for it, not popular in general.

Gotcha. We agree. UBI is the Alexander Keith's of ideas. Those who like it, like it a lot. Everyone else thinks it's a bad investment and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
