Andrew Yang Qualifies For First Democratic Debate

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yang is campaigning on a series of radical proposals, including offering every person a $12,000 universal basic income (UBI) in the form of a $1,000 monthly cash payment, which Yang calls a “freedom dividend.”

Awesome!
Who is going to pony up the $4 trillion needed for this handout?

Yang and Buttigieg getting roughly as much Google search traffic as alleged "frontrunners" Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders over the past 24 hours.

 

[Confounding]

He's a smart dude.

As long as some keep brushing off our growing wealth disparities, this stuff won't be going away.

Being intellectually stuck in the every-man-for-himself Old West ain't a good idea.

I have yet to hear another solution to the coming jobs crisis. AI and robotics are going to make human labor obsolete. At that point society will collapse if the government isn't providing for people.

My fearless & brilliant prediction: We'll just keep ignoring what's coming because no answers are easy and/or politically expedient. Then one day we'll find ourselves in abject crisis mode, lose our shit and make some stupid, shallow, knee-jerk decisions based on absolute panic & ignorance.

Because that's how we roll.

I guess this would be just one more on an increasingly long list of what the evil one percent would be footing the bill for?

That depends on where the handout is enacted into law. One thing is for sure, the poor can't/won't pay for it. The rich will pay BIG TIME, in higher taxes As with a lot of these liberal-loon ideas, they start out in cities, and eventually California signs on statewide.

If they do, here's who will get hit with the BIG BILL >>

All own properties in California. Doesn't matter where they are. What matters is WHO they are.
