There is deep-seated sense in America that is moral in its base that would oppose any "undeserved" benefit. How do you overcome that objection?

I am familiar with many UBI pilots and am on board. If some UBI policy passes, do you think inequities in other settings (education, housing etc) might follow?

One of the best talks I ever attended at Oxford was by Anirudh Krishna about fighting poverty in India. One of his key points was that people fall into poverty not at one blow but after two, three, four things pile on and compound each other (e.g. a layoff followed by crop failure followed by a major medical issue and expense). His focus was not just about lifting people out of poverty but crucially preventing them from falling into poverty through a downward spiral of circumstances.Connecting that approach to what you are working on, if I heard correctly this program would also benefit people who are currently above the poverty line but perhaps an accident and/or job loss etc away from falling into poverty. Can you speak at an even more granular level about how this program will be able to help different groups in different ways?

How is the campaign going? What is status and what are prospects?
