It is a paradox

Usually, UBI is supported by organizations which promote free market policies, like the World Bank. JG is supported by the MMT, created by left-wing economists.


However, it looks like much easier to convince conservative common people to support JG than convince them to support UBI. Conservative common people are much more willing to support income related to work, than income that is not related to work.

Not if they're government jobs.
