EP#64 - Universal Basic Income and Andrew Yang

from Twenty Somethings Hosted by Sound Pollination

On this week's episode, Keith and Grant break down some discrepancies within the economic theory known as Universal Basic Income. This theory has gained a lot of traction as of late in the national media, due to the presence of an unlikely Presidential Candidate in Andrew Yang. Are we able to pay for that? Won't people work less? Why should the rich get it? Why not just improve current welfare programs? All of these questions are covered in a great conversation centered around trying to improve the bottom line of society. The headlines were quite ridiculous this week. Among other things discussed, a Japanese hotel chain apologizes for allowing hackers to peep on guests through bedside robots, and you will go to jail for trick or treating at the age of 12 in some states. Grant agrees with that one. Go figure. -- IG: @TwentySomethings_Podcast Twitter: @Podcast20Sum SoundPollination.com Patreon (Early Access) YouTube Stream Page Twitch Stream Channel

When Cas’s best friend, Kendall, is offered a position with the Wolfpac, Windfall’s military cult that acts as the city’s police, Cas is forced to decide where his loyalties lie.
