I would like to see him be successful. He cannot be worse than the present mayor.

On the other hand, I think he’s a bit naive. He has good intentions, but we know where good intentions take us.

UBI in principle sounds nice, but it is also potentially a power grab. You get people used to UBI, you get them dependent on it, then you use it to control them.

But who knows, if his mayorship doesn’t not revolve around his hobbyhorse, I don’t see why he couldn’t be better than mr Wilhelm.

UBI is a popularly-discussed policy in tech circles.
