Do you have any plans to write another book?

Also, I love you.

My only concern with UBI has to do with Social Security. The average monthly benefit for retired workers is $1,294*. Which is less than a lot of estimated potential UBI payments. I would hate for my parents to have to go back to work in their 70s to make up the difference. What are your thoughts on reconciling current Social Security benefits with UBI?

Yes, I know what UBI is. My question was about what would happen if the monthly UBI benefit was less than one's current SS benefit. I haven't seen many UBI proposals (or at least discussions) that had a monthly amount as high as $1300.

Also, are you hiring writers? :D
