I know there are a lot of people who like Bernie on this website but I rarely see topics about Andrew Yang. We haven't ever had a candidate who is as compassionate and able to bring both sides together as well as Yang has so far in his grassroots campaign. This guy understands what is going on in this country and while I respect Bernie Sanders, I think his time has past. He has been saying the same stuff for 40 years and everyone says this is an example of how strong he is but I see it the opposite and here is why
Bernie hasn't realized that the world we live in today is completely different from the time his original ideas sprouted. He talks about a living wage yet 15 dollars an hour is a joke in many places that would do nothing to eliminate poverty. Companies would cut hours and even possibly jobs and replace them with automated kiosks. Yang is the only candidate talking about UBI and this would be a universal program that would not further divide people and help both those who earn under and above 15. It is essentially a 6+ dollar an hour wage increase for everyone. Let's also keep in mind that raising a minimum wage does nothing for stay at home moms and dads.
Bernie also has no clue about AI. Yang is totally right about China spending a ton of resources on the development of artificial intelligence. By implementing a UI that scales with inflation we can have a safety net in place for the next wave of automation. By having this safety net we can then proceed to accelerate the advancement of AI without worrying if people will be sleeping on the streets. I don't think we can ever solve poverty 100% because there will always be some outliers but Yang's plan is so far ahead of Bernie who just wants to make you a slave to the government for 15 bucks an hour.
Anyway, I sincerely hope there are people here who are willing to spread the word and choose a once in a lifetime candidate that will bring both the right and left together.
Please go to yang2020.com and support this guy.
Andrew Yang A-B tests every single word he says before it makes it to public consumption.
Knowing this, how would we ever know if what Andrew Yang is saying is his honest opinion, or just him using carefully-chosen language in order to manipulate us?
For all of his faults, President Trump speaks off-the-cuff enough to the point where we're all fairly sure we know what his honest opinion is.
