The Universal Basic Income (UBI) meme movement gained massive momentum during the 2020 election cycle, primarily driven by the 'Yang Gang' and supporters of Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend. These memes often blend economic theory with futurism, depicting the transition from a traditional labor-based economy to one supported by government stipends due to AI and automation. Common themes include the contrast between working a 9-to-5 job and receiving 'free' money, the irony of robots replacing humans, and the excitement of checking a bank account for a monthly deposit. These memes are widely used on Reddit, Twitter, and financial forums to simplify complex economic debates through humor.
