Again, the idea is to "might be able to make it" such that if you can pull in $75 a week on Taskrabbit that's an extra $300 a month. Meanwhile it didn't take you 40 hours a week to pull down $1500. Add in a few kids and you add in a few $1200 checks. Take it from me - my little bundle of joy is hella more than $1200 a month. But a single mom with three kids is going to do better by society at $4800 a month, let alone the kids.
He's not even consistent on who gets the payment. I'm not super into arguing for things I basically support by way of political feasibility so I'm not going down that route. I support Yang insofar as he brings some interesting ideas to the fore but dude is just not anywhere near me on the political spectrum
