Nixon was a product of his times. He also proposed a national health care plan and created the EPA.

This was back in the day before the U.S. turned into a far-right nation politically. Can you imagine seat belt laws getting passed these days?

So although I can easily support UBI, I have zero hope that the far-right conservative political culture that the U.S. has become will pass such a thing.

Great research, and info, though, for sure. Let's hope for better days.
