[@wade2112]

My girlfriend is right leaning and I'm left leaning although we agree on most of the same things. All we do is go to work, go home, have sex, play pc games, and eat cheap food at home. We have good jobs for people in their mid 20s but we don't have any extra income to consume things. Generally the only time we participate in the economy (other than the part where we fuel the economy by working) is when our parents take us out to eat 6 times a year. We want to go skiing but we can't afford skii equipment to buy or rent or $60+ for a skii lift pass on the weekends, the only time we would have time to go. Universal basic income seems like a nobrainer to us because we aren't doing much for spending in the economy by sitting at home and practicing games we've owned for years (we buy like 1-2 games a year). Perhaps I shouldn't be putting 6% of my income in a 401k that's being matched by the company or perhaps we need more economic power.

Dude wtf Andrew Yang is literally achieving bipartisanship in the most polarized climate I've seen in my life

[@TexanIndependence]

I know, right? I'm a Republican Trump voter who can't stop watching his videos....the guy is refreshing. I'm still voting Trump, but if Yang is the nominee I wouldn't vocally oppose him the way I would ANY of the other Democrats. He's got awesome policies like Democracy Dollars which is popular with every GOP person who hears it. He is the only politician to point out Thorium's potential, which I've been ranting about for years as a Republican and yet nobody in politics EVER mentioned until Yang. Unfortunately as a conservative I could only vote for Yang, IF Yang was pro-life and promised to only nominate originalists for SCOTUS and continue building border protections and buy more coast guard cutters to keep out drugs and viruses, I mean who cares about immigration? 60,000+ Americans die yearly from drugs that come across that border, and we can't effectively quarantine if virus carriers can just walk across unsecured border, a virus could spread uncontrollably across the border and could kill 100 million+ Americans like the 1918 Spanish Flu which spread by migrant Asian workers who arrived to help during WW1, and which killed 4% of global population, equivalent to 280 million people today. It would also help if he didn't buy into CO2 being a problem as Methane/Nitrous Oxide from cows causes the most warming, while CO2 is at historic lows compared to the Jurassic Age and if anything we need more CO2 because humans have killed off too many animals that used to exhale CO2 so we have less CO2 in our atmosphere than during almost all periods of Earth's existence like the Mesozoic (Jurassic, Triassic) and Paleozoic periods, we are dramatically lower CO2 levels now, dangerously low in fact. But back to the topic, most GOP voters don't care about those specific social issues like I do, so many of them will flip to Yang. And dampening the enthusiasm of Trump's base, would mean Yang would win. I would never vote "against Yang" (I am voting "for Trump"), and much of Trump's support in 2016 was votes "against Hillary". Yang is too likeable, logical, soft-spoken and rational. The complete opposite of Trump.

The reason you don't see the other liberal politicians here is because they know they'll get exposed for their weak platform and talking points.

Both him and Shapiro graduated with J.D.s from top universities, both have written books and are pretty well informed on political subjects. Even if you replace "expert" with "very knowledgeable" in my argument, it still stands. It just seems like you're taking issue with such a small thing while the point still stands.

[@48peon]

@ragnar ulrichson That's not true. Our country is operating with excess capacity. Until there's a supply side constraint, goods are not likely to go up. Unlike crazy Warren/Sanders, UBI does not impact the operating expense portion. I am not a fan of what Warren/Sanders does. Also, VAT does not impact Food/Clothing, the basic consumer staples. The question is whether that $1,000/m to you will benefit you. If you are among the 95% Americans, you will take home more money, and have more disposable income with the Freedom Dividend.

[@Zeldasouls]

ragnar ulrichson assuming you divert the money for UBI from other federal welfare programs and aren’t simply printing $1000 for everybody who opts into UBI, no, UBI would not artificially drive up the price of goods and services. Nor would it increase taxes. Keep in mind this is ONLY if other programs are abolished to compensate, and if the aforementioned conditions are met.

ragnar ulrichson no.... you clearly didn’t read my comment. There would be NO inflation (and by extension price increases) because no new currency is being put into circulation. You are correct in saying that the revenue would be garnered in taxes on private citizens and corporations (Amazon), but there would be zero tax increase overall. The amount of federal tax revenue spent on social programs would be the same as before the policy implementation (UBI), if not even less, because the government would be spending less on other welfare programs due to UBI effectively replacing some of them.

[@sambalaskas5082]

I think if you may fall into the same problem that the left does. You would be shocked as too how much you probably agree with many democratic candidates on many policy issues as well as just understanding the problems in general. The media though tends to filter the most interesting/least intellectually triggering parts of it (ie the social issues). Fox News talks about flags and monuments, CNN talks about BLM and trump. It tends to avoid the actual problems. But that’s what we as a society demand. We demand the easy to digest and extremely polarizing issues and the media is happy to cater to that (they talk about this towards the end). So then when we go to vote we think “Bernie is a communist” and “trump is a racist” and “Hillary is corrupt” instead of diving into the actual important things. Not to say those accusations aren’t important, but any individual being a bad person doesn’t matter, it’s the policies they enact. Hillary could be corrupt but if her policies help create a less corrupt US then I don’t care nearly as much.

And honestly it's been here 30 something years when the rest of the country never got it so I don't see why not. And $1000 a month is more since we only get and 1-2k dividend once a year.

Fast forward 3 months, I have never been so interested in a candidate in my life. I watched many of his videos. This guy is for real, he knows his shit, he is confident, focused, humble, well mannered, well educated, incredibly smart and knowledgeable with a sense of humor. He has a great ideology that will physically and financially help the general Americans, and when he explained on how the mechanism is going to work, I went from "This is stupid" to "Holy shit this might actually work" and I give him a lot of credit for how he carries himself and handle questions and interviews. He never attacked anyone of any background, party, race, age, sex etc. He never put anyone down to make him shine. He focuses on moving forward than left or right and never dodges any questions. He feeds no bullshit and dives straight to the point and deliver that hard and bold message in languages the public understands. He doesn't play the race card and identity politics mean nothing to him. He is transparent with his ideas and he explains on how it works and it MAKES SENSE. All this time I watched so many of his video on KZbin, and Facebook. I barely see anything negative about him in the comment, and if I may add.

@Boris Bornakiss I plan to :)

[@twoking10]

As Republican I could actually consider Yang's $1000/month idea if he could just refine it a bit. First off, when Yang said people are entitled to it as "shareholders of the country." There is no such thing as being a "shareholder of the country." A person is either an owner of capital or not. Also, I think he is being way too idealistic about people acting responsibly. Drug use among lower income peoples would go way up. Therefore, I would refine Yang's idea this way. 1.Instead of just giving people $1000 in cash, they would be required to put that money in an investment account. Buy an index fund, or individual stocks, bonds, etc. And of course name a beneficiary. 2. With exceptions, the money would not be available for withdrawal until retirement age. 3. People already in retirement age would have the option of taking all or part of the $1000 in cash, or invest it. 4. Children receive the $1000 / month from the time they are born. Parent or legal guardian would act as custodian of the account until the child reaches age 18. 5. To address the possibility of the spending going out of control, in the legislation it should say that COLA increases are limited to the CPI each year. 6. A person may use dividends or interest, or in some cases capital gains (I haven't completely thought this part through) to buy health insurance or put into HSA's. 7. Absolutely positively MUST limit the payment to only U.S. citizens. Eventually the whole system would just replace Social Security. No one would have a disincentive to work and be productive because the principle from investment would not be available until retirement age. Only the interest or dividends would be available and then only with the exceptions mentioned above. Because a beneficiary would be named, the money would not disappear down a black hole as is what happens when a person dies young. (I could write something here about how Social Security keeps poor families poor, but it would take too much to write here). Just as importantly, we all end up on the same side economically. Obviously, some people would still make other investments so some people will have more than others. However, everyone ends up being an owner of capital at least at some level. A person walks into a grocery store, including people living paycheck to paycheck, looks at a product made by.. McCormick (for example) and thinks, "hey, I own some of that." Everyone becomes an owner of capital. Both Marx and Friedman are satisfied, perfect.

@@luisriley7570 if you look at like it's our money which it is we are just getting compensated for our data which is our property. That's worth more than $1000 a month as is. We can definitely afford it. You will see a huge boost in mental health, because for example most stress and suicide comes from poverty and the dividend will help with that by lifting the weight of some of those bills off the nexts of millions of Americans living paychecks to paycheck. The UBI does not produce laziness but in fact makes people work more doing something they love, and with automation are working options are getting smaller by the day. I can give 1000 more reasons, but let's just say it's the best plan on the democratic side by far.

[@jakinchan3432]

@@priestlane6141 I don't think a UBI would help much. How companies decide how much to sell a product is just to sell it at the highest price they could that the consumers are willing to pay. Any improvements in the production costs doesn't always mean a lower price, but more profit for the company. If we were to implement UBI, since people now have more money, there is nothing to stop companies from raising prices since consumers clearly now have enough and are wiling to pay for it. Lets take San Francisco for example. If we were to implement UBI, suddenly, everyone has more money. This is like in San Francisco where suddenly, so many people have money from tech companies. Since everyone had more money, many companies in San Francisco raised their prices because people were willing to pay it. Yes, income goes up, but prices and consequently, the poverty threshold also goes up. UBI, when implemented, just feels like sudden inflation. It may help initially, but I do not think it will work long term. Yes, everyone suddenly has $1000, and thats great, but EVERYONE suddenly has $1000, so the thresholds will move too. Think of it like if the NBA decided to add 10 points to every team in every game. Yes, teams will now earn more points, but it doesn't change the standings. It doesn't help the teams on the bottom move up.

Agree completely! Here's the problem: Americans do not vote for smart candidates who know what they're doing. Americans vote for the candidate that best appeals to their emotions...and typically the one that is easiest to manipulate is fear. Trump won because he gave disillusioned middle America something to hate and fear, and misled them into believing he was the hero who would take down the establishment, the immigrants, the elites...etc. I love Andrew Yang's ideas...but let's be real...America won't vote for someone who cares about and loves the country and its people. America will vote for who talks a big game and get people riled up and pissed even more than they already are.
