Haven't heard that episode. I guess I can understand interviewing Yang because he did have a following but UBI without rent control etc is just kicking the ball down the road.
This is the second time Virgil interviewed Yang. Both times he pushes Yang on the weaknesses of UBI but Yang dodges. I kinda thank Yang and is trying to elevate his brand to get a job in the administration in order to sell out to consulting firms after. Like so many who have gone before...
