Not universal basic income — [that's] the old construct — but this notion of universal basic capital [...] more challenging than it appears.

Quote attributed to Gavin Newsom (2026) re: "universal basic capital" vs "universal basic income (old construct)". Source URL fox40.com returned 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the fox40 article contains the exact phrasing including "more challenging than it appears", and multiple corroborating outlets (NY Sun, KQED, SF Examiner) report Newsom pitching universal basic capital in his AI executive order. Author attribution correct, year 2026 correct, quote content accurate. Vote "for" on statement "Introduce a universal basic wealth system that grants individuals a capital endowment at birth" aligns with Newsom advocating universal basic capital. Quote is relevant and reflects the whole meaning of the statement.
