When people on the far left and the far right agree, they&#x27;re usually onto something.  My favorite examples are the NSA spying stuff, and this.<p>Lefties hate the NSA spying and love a universal basic income because the spying tilts the power away from the people, and the income tilts toward the people.<p>Righties (well, go far right enough) hate the NSA spying and love a universal income because of government overreach in the first case, and the ability to drastically simplify government welfare--cutting out a ton of means-tested programs and their agencies, and replacing it all with a check each month.<p>Gotta love it!
