Most conservatives are too busy working to post on a message board all day about such pressing issues as the need for universal basic income and other hand outs/government spending, but make no mistake they are very much alive and well.
Nice try though.

Talking points like this bother me. UBI is not a liberal or conservative ideology, it is a financial stance that should be taken as a neutral possibility and then debated with left and right implementation possibilities dependent on whether UBI is proven to be viable.
The entire government mandate is technically to control 'hand outs' to the population. Not everything needs to be politicized. It can simply be governing.
This is why nothing ever gets done.
If it makes 'current conservatives' happy, the increase in immigration to such a high level pretty much is the death knell for UBI, and that was implemented by the Liberals. But if the Conservatives are just opposing everything Liberal, then they should be pro-UBI and pro-controlled immigration (based on a yearly metric). This is where I am, and I hate 'pick a side' politics.
I'm not sure if Yoho or I, are the 'real' conservative on this issue. It's very confusing, and probably why the earlier poster referred to 'orphaned'.
