Sanders is for a federal jobs guarantee. Theose jobs are likely to be:
1) Really shitty
2) Not get a lot of actual work done that needs done
And in the long run, 1000 UBI is a start down the road we must go down. Federal Jobs guarantee sounds like more bureaucracy and "make work" philosophy.
We are already in denial about how much actual work that needs done is actually being done by the people that "work".* Trying to get these types that don't even have jobs yet to (in reality) contribute is a pointless endeavor.
* Think about the actual products and services you need to use in the world. Housing, food, even entertainment / travel...now think about how many people we actually need to provide those services.
We need to get to the point where jobs aren't made to suit people. People should be bending over backwards to suit jobs. The "everyone needs a job" mentality is making a lot of really stupid jobs. Counter-intuitively (to some) -- you don't do this by making everyone desperate to work for the basics of living. You need those that a striving for more to put there energy into work.

I’m cool with a UBI if military service is mandatory from 18-22 and military preparedness (BMI < 28) must be maintained til age 60 with zero exemptions. You’re in a wheelchair, cool, we make you pilot drones
I’m only half joking. If UBI is happening, you guys are going to have to learn civics and service. I don’t see many young people fit to wear the purple
Also, yang is against circumcision. A Chinese godless commie against divine laws delenda est
