Unfortunately I think the people that will suffer most from mass-automation still don't believe that their job can be automated. Speaking to taxi drivers, to them it's a foreign concept sometimes spoke about briefly in the news that may or may not come around in 20 years when they're retired, so they don't need to worry. Yang's "Freedom dividend" won't be appealing to them until the day they're passed on the road by a car without a driver in the seat. The sad reality is, until that point the dividend is only "more free money to the lazy unemployed". Out of all the current candidates, if I were to pick one it would be Yang. Sadly I think as soon as the political flame train gets started, he'll be shot down very quickly.
