I think people are starting to come around to it. Andrew Yang had a pretty big part in getting the word out to people who never thought about it before. I think that will be his legacy.

Shortly after Yang lost his bid, covid has shown a pretty big spot light on our relationship with work and many people figured out their jobs often aren't needed or important like a Graeber BS job. Either a well paying bs job or automation has led many workers to be easily replaced cogs and paid crumbs. That was just a preview of 5-10 years from now. It's not mainstream by any means, but I think it's in the early stages of gaining traction outside of tech nerds and cyberpunk fans.
