I have to say... the only political candidate trying to solve problems pragmatically is Andrew Yang - and that's why he's my guy.
Even if you think his solutions are horrible, you have to admit he's bringing new ideas to the table and focused on measuring the right metrics and solving problems.
UBI might seem like a pipe-dream but when you break it down it's way more realistic than "amazing government jobs for everyone" or "break up the big companies into little pieces."
The economy is shifting due to automation and the exploitation of workers through the on-demand gig economy. We need major changes and big ideas. I want someone who innovates and uses data to back up his political stances - so Yang has my vote.
- joejerryronnie 7y agoI completely agree with you on Andrew Yang. I don’t think UBI works in practice but he is the only candidate realistically talking about underlying problems instead of just symptoms. I’d probably go for Yang too, but it would be a near impossibility for him to win the nomination. I’d love to see him as a VP pick but he doesn’t really bring the “votes” that a typical VP candidate would. At the very least, I hope he’s offered some type of cabinet position (ideally heading up a new Department of Technology).
