Our political system is infested with corporate money and politicians serve their corporate funders. Corporations want desperate cheap labor so UBI won't happen unless we walk off the job and dis-empower our corporate masters.
We will need to do that everywhere, so we will. By everywhere, I mean in other countries under other systems as well—all major industrial countries. We will need to shut down every leader who's ruining the climate and destroying the Earth's habitability.
