Hmmmm, the good news is he is probably not a "Once in a lifetime." A lot of Green/independent's have been saying the same things for decades. Where he's important is bringing up the futurist issues he has, in major, televised, political debates. He'll be around for some-time, and there will be more like him. Indeed, we'll likely see Silicone Valley types becoming more mainstream/visible in political discourses until they eventually own it. Which might be a catch 22.

[@ginaweith9475]

He made a huge impact with very little coverage. He moved UBI into mainstream conversation, he brought a new way of thinking about solutions to our problems. We need Federal jobs guarantee and UBI. UBI promotes innovation, small business, helps people stay home with young kids or care for elderly family members. UBI is a safety net we need. We need both Yang and Sanders. We need everything both of them are talking about. Having health care coverage separate from your employer enables the gig economy. UBI also enables the gig economy in that people are protected if work is seasonal or sporadic.

@@shway1 You made some decent points, though I wouldn't bash him for things like calling medical care 'medicare.' I also don't understand why raising minimum wages would help anything.

I think raising the minimum wage that radically would be a bad idea anyway. In most other western countries minimum wage is determined by economy experts, so if you do decide to raise it, I think it should definitely be done gradually.

I feel a lot of grief from andrew yang dropping out. He was the only candidate that spoke to me and understood the issue that plagued my community.

[@africasseed]

The green party ran on ubi this past election cycle. NDP ran on a minimum wage. Vote Green to push the discussion in Canada. #HumanityFirst

[@ConQuiX1]

​@@africasseed The Green's having UBI as their proposal doesn't mean they posses the thought process that led Andrew to support it. It's the difference between the what and the how. The Green party in my experience has a particular brand that constrains them ideologically in unhelpful ways. I work in energy management, so I get my fair share of environmentalism. Most people I work with want us to get off the fossil as quickly as possible in an intelligent manner that won't cripple our neighbors or ourselves economically (as do I), but they are deeply opposed to nuclear energy production without even understanding it's the safest "least downside ridden" form of energy generation we've ever discovered. The problem is that the downsides it does have are MAJOR when they happen and they also involve nuclear physics which hardly anyone understands (even with the internet, fear of physics is still a thing). I'm lucky if I can find someone who understands nuclear fusion is different from fission and that different kinds of thorium reactors offer promising alternatives that are even safer still). Andrew was all over this, and it's because he doesn't make his mind up in advance of carefully investigating the details. What's remarkable and different about Andrew was his first principles based and (mostly) non-ideological thinking (this is what people say, but really they mean he doesn't make his mind up in advance). Andrew is eminently persuadable if you've got the data, the numbers the evidence, the methodology and the reasons working for you. A good or better argument will change the guy's mind - imagine having a government with the structures and systems that actually allow reason based thinking to be reliably implemented in viable policies. I know this is going to sound like a utopian dream to anyone who understands history or just human nature, but having a guy like Andrew win the nomination would certainly have constituted a decent shot at it. He does clearly lean left. Overall, that aligns with me personally but he's been either unwilling or unable to criticize things affirmative action (to take one example) even though it's problems have really started to show. Of course, no one really sees through all their biases. For the most part his concern for normal people over money or corporations takes an authentic and practical form though, and you can tell this from his policies and his focus in diagnosing the problems. Andrew understands not to ask or expect people to be heroes and go against their own self-interest - especially in large numbers consistently for extended stretches of time. He understands that getting many people to change quickly requires that you think carefully about the motivations and incentives driving people. It's what makes him different from Bernie; they share the same sympathies, but Andrew's ideas have the potential to scale, function and persist as intended (without deploying creepy overbearing constraints on people). Proposing policies that take human tendencies (generally classified as "human nature") into account makes all the difference in the world (until we start intentionally altering our nature and learn to alter it to something we like better I suppose). We all aspire to consistently do the right thing even when it's hard, but to expect most people to do this most of the time is actually a stupid expectation when you think about it. Reading between the lines, it's implied in almost *all* persuasive political rhetoric in some manner (either everyone else will be heroes or the government will somehow provide us everything we want and still manage to balance the budget etc.). It's a strategy that somehow still continues to fool people in large numbers and I would venture to guess that the Trump supporters that have crossed over to support Yang are likely permanently changed by their experience in this regard. On the other hand, the increasing number of people who have becoming disengaged from politics and were re-energized by Andrew suggests to me that many have started to catch on. Perhaps they were waiting for someone like Andrew who was willing to actually develop data, evidence and reason-based policies.

On top of that, her Green New Deal did not have anything mentioned about Nuclear Energy or Industrial Hemp. But what it did include was the option to work or not work. It is the biggest sham and most blatant pandering to climate change activists. It says “Green New Deal” but had very little to do with helping the planet. I am very sorry that you are a fan of AOC. She is incompetent and a detriment to the Democratic Party. I am praying that she will lose re-election. Which is very possible because the majority of her funding comes from outside her district. Her own district doesn’t like her. But people in California do.

I also appreciated his appreciation of people like me, who stay home and home school out of choice.

Yang's movement is inevitable, no one can deny that technology and automation is coming in full swing. And when that time comes, God bless we told you so.

[@maxinelyu7875]

Dim how is the “automation thing” debunked? Do you think a machine will take the same amount of ppl it replaced to maintain it?

[@hollar5560]

Dim, I don’t exactly understand how yang addressing these policies is a bad thing. The problem with automation that you are missing is the fact that while it will creat new jobs, it’s going to create massive turmoil with the people whose jobs it took. Some of these people will have a very hard time transitioning into these new jobs, especially because most of them require an education while the old one didn’t. The future of America is becoming clearer every day, and we NEED politicians like yang to address these new issues before they become issues instead of putting off the inevitable like most other politicians today.

[@Ha-qe7sl]

@Dim , I never thought i'd find myself having to write a mini argument essay in a youtube section but here goes. 1) automation works on the idea of maximizing efficiency. It defeats the purpose if for every amount of tasks that are optimized there would be an equal amount needed to maintain. 2)The kinds of jobs that would be at risk of automation also include some traditionally white collar jobs such as accounting, pharmacists, judicial clerks, radiologists, anything that requires repetition and data mining. 3) We are back to the proverbial argument of turning miners into coders. No, not everyone has the education to make that transition and not everyone want to be coders 4) Immigration policies are not the center of Yang's campaign, we need you to realize that no, immigrants are not the ones taking your "best paying jobs" they are the one doing manual labors that no one wants to do. 5) Universal basic income give ordinary people the safety net to pursue their own entrepreneurial, educational, career-changing endeavors needed in this time of technological revolution. As well as the ability to take time off to care of their loved ones. Along with the VAT TAX, It is capitalism for the ordinary folks. And it is just the first damn step. I could go on forever but bottom line is as someone who works in the tech industry and will have to automate away my colleague's jobs, I dont want this to be the reality of most Americans in just a few years.

[@AB-ol5uz]

@Dim automation is centralizing jobs - which hurts rural communities the most. They can't move to where the jobs ARE if they can't sell their houses. Buyers won't buy if the community doesn't have jobs. UBI was the most direct way to close the gap - people could catch up on deferred home/car/health maintenance, get higher quality health care, tutoring for their kids or extra curricular activities, invest in their own small businesses, etc. NEW jobs would occur organically based on the different needs of the community. Contrast that with Bernies Federal Jobs guarantee - that is socialism NOT capitalism. UBI would support capitalistic growth in literally every town in the U.S.

[@Betty9971]

@@kevingass4017 As a matter of fact, I am an american living in Germany now. You are right that Yang's plan is similar to the Germany healthcare system, which to me is a better version, since it includes both public and private plan. Even though I do agree that Bernie's M4A is a improvement over the current system, Yang's healthcare plan provides a transition period from private to public. Instead of forcing people to give up their private insurance, yang's plan intends to provide a public option that will eventually convince people the public healthcare is simply a better choice. I know personally many of my family members in the US are really enjoying their private healthcare plans and won't want to change to a public one. Regarding the German model, only people with income at the top 10% are qualified for the private healthcare. My husband has never opted for the private plan, though he does belong to this group for many years because there are some disadvantages in these private plans in terms of costs and restrictions when people get older, so the public plan here in German has demonstrated itself it is already a good enough plan for most people without using the private one.

M4A is strong for democrat party not for both party. Democrat candidates need Some kind of solutions for both side people will support. Otherwise Donald Trump will easily win 2020.

Yang truly grew on me. I was always for Sanders, but Yang and Tulsi have my support. Hopefully, if Sanders gets the nomination he will have Yang and Tulsi as a part of his cabinet.
