Comment by Darian Shirazi
CEO of Radius
We have a small technological aristocracy and a middle class struggling to catch up with the demands of a more efficient economy. Basic income can bring a baseline and offer freedom to those trapped by our new economy.

Unable to verify source. The source_url points to a Financial Times article (https://next.ft.com/content/a3c3258a-d0b3-11e5-92a1-c5e23ef99c77) which is behind a paywall and blocked from automated access. Web searches for the exact quote text ("technological aristocracy", "bring a baseline") attributed to Darian Shirazi returned no matching results. Author attribution is plausible: Darian Shirazi was indeed CEO of Radius, a B2B data platform, and is a Silicon Valley figure who could reasonably comment on UBI. Vote alignment is correct: the quote clearly supports basic income ("Basic income can bring a baseline and offer freedom"), matching the "for" vote on "Implement a universal basic income". However, without being able to access the FT article or find the quote elsewhere online, I cannot positively confirm the quote text or its attribution.
