Everything Andrew's running on of the UBI, we experienced, it helped us pay for our car or that night out that we typically probably would have stayed in because we didn't have the extra money ... it definitely put money into the economy.

It probably took me about eight months of collecting universal basic income before I decided (to vote for Yang) because I didn't know who he was, and I wasn't just going to just because he was giving me a thousand dollars a month, I wasn't going to commit to voting for him - nor did he ask us.

Janelle actually came home and said: 'Hey, there's this Asian guy running for president, and he's running a platform of universal basic income,'.

When you go from making $80,000 a year to zero and not being able to take care of your family ... it affects your psyche quite a bit.
