> I predict that in the US, where culture of entrepreneurship, (relatively) less government intervention, and individualism rules, that UBI is completely dead on arrival no matter its merits/demerits, whatever the facts.

i agree with your premise, but not your conclusion. UBI is (much) less gov intervention that our current welfare state. and UBI allows more entrepreneurs to take risks on their great ideas. and moving social welfare from a three party system (individual, employer, gov) to a two party system (individual, gov) is in support of individualism. so the US should love UBI!
