    A backlash could turn the net global humanitarian impact of a universal basic income plan negative.

US-enacted, entirely domestic policy has to take into account its global humanitarian impact these days? Interesting. I can pretty much guarantee you, Tyler, that the UK, China and India aren't doing the same, to say nothing of Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.

It's a noble sentiment, of course, and one that will feature in my next bestseller, "How to Finish Dead Last and Then Die."
