I find the proposal proffered here about as tied to reality as any one of Paul Ryan's fantasies of trickle down economics. And I like the idea of universal basic income. The show doesn't bother to convince you on how this might be a good idea. It just presents it as a done deal. The hero is a genius because he has been anointed thus. The idea is genius because the writers expect you to accept it thus. Shut off your brain if you wish to listen to this show. Otherwise, it is a pleasure to listen to actors like Autumn Reeser, Laurence Fishburne, and Ming-Na Wen. I just lament that this show is so dumb. It would be great to actually have an audio drama worthy of being compared to The West Wing.
