I wonder if he still feels as strongly about basic income. That seems to me like something that would just increase inflation and not solve any problems, while at the same time cutting funding for other programs designed to help people in more specific ways. Like, I understand the aim, to enrich people and give them free time. Everyone deserves that. But that doesn't work if your new found money is worth less and you still need to work two jobs to get by. The markets, aka people, will continue reassessing the value of things regardless of your requests for them to stop.

Looks like he hasn't said anything about it since.

I’m on my phone in a tent so can’t search as easily as normal but I’m pretty sure he’s referenced UBI positively on Twitter in the last few weeks.
