Pablo Escobar
Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpaβ̞lo eˈmiljo eskoˈβ̞aɾ ɣ̞aˈβ̞iɾja]; 1 December 1949 – 2 December 1993) was a Colombian drug lord and narcoterrorist. His cartel supplied an estimated 80% of the cocaine smuggled into the United States at the height of his career, turning over US $21.9 billion a year in personal income. He was often called "The King of Cocaine" and was the wealthiest criminal in history, with an estimated known net worth of US $30 billion by the early 1990s (equivalent to about $56 billion as of 2017), making him one of the richest men in the world in his prime.
Escobar was born in Rionegro, Colombia and grew up in nearby Medellín.
Ayn Rand supported UBI.
She also thought it was a good thing to steal land from the "unproductive" natives, and that you shouldn't let the health of environment or others beings stop you in the pursuit of your egotistic goals
Also, also. I didn't find any source supporting your claim about her supporting UBI, but I found several quotes from Ayn Rand admirers suggesting she opposing it, this being the only one adding a reference:
"She strongly opposed such programs when they were proposed by Nixon (in 1969) and McGovern (in 1972).
