Yang is advocating for policies at least a decade in the future, because the universal income meme has no play right now … except among people like us. If, as I suspect, job destruction outpaces job creation over a long enough period to prove, to the average member of the not-well-informed, that is something drastic or starvation, then it will get pushed to the front and fast. Killing all the truck-driving jobs may be enough, but a huge infrastructure build-out may paper over that loss for a while. We'll have to see how it plays. We do need the infrastructure badly.
