Yang doesn't have a chance anyway lol

and Yang Gang is literally just "$1000 > <:BLUMPF:586288848171040827>" and then maybe some shit about how Trump didn't do what he said he was going to do or how the wall isn't being built or how he generally didn't follow through on his promises (which is mostly baseless)

so it's really pretty boring and rather ignorant

"bro just admit it, the FENCE isn't getting built"

and/or maybe something along the tone of yada yada yada Trump lied to you, come join the #YangGang etc

just really kinda yikes and cringe and 😬

either way its all about what he likes about yang

maybe the idiot is all about climate change

if hes that kind of fag, you can explain trump did more for carbon reduction than obama

if its about healthcare, fuck let me chat him up, I'll destroy anyone that thinks medicare for all is good.

it doesn't seem like Yang focuses on climate change, he mostly fearmongers about automation and relies upon his schtick of $1000 a month for every American citizen of age 18 and above

automation *is* scary

and one of his only valid points

yangbucks is a stupid meme, though.

i mean, a lot of he says about it is exaggerated and wrong though

sure, but its a presidential campaign, everything is exaggerated.

the underlying point is valid

skynet isnt about to kill all the poor people, but lots of industries are looking at wholesale kicking out people

yang suggesting a tax on robot employees to force companies to use less efficient humans, though? dumb as rocks.

there was this one restaurant that served food using these things that people can just walk up to and pick what they want or whatever and it actually has people in the back making the food but he claimed that many jobs were actually being lost through that

he was totally unaware that people were behind these things making the food

and he went to this place and got food there

the same technology or whatever it also used by some other places now I think, but that's just one example

Some jobs *are* lost with kiosks dude

or like with the truckers too, that's not a done deal either

they cut down on front-of-shop service staff

and the trucker thing is a HUGE scary problem

a lot of times he assumes that nobody will be needed for these things anymore, when you still have to have people there making sure everything's going okay and doing things the robot will never be able to do

so when all the trucks are automated, what will the ~4m cdl drivers do?

lol

ballast?

those computers can't do street driving, or unloading or anything like that

yet.

the lines on the road also have to be perfect

well I don't see it happening any time soon, and he doesn't make an adequate case to it

we're two years into self-driving cars and you can already drive cross country in one

and it isn't really demonstrable

we aren't even at l5 cars yet

but over the next 10-15 years? absolutely

a massive chunk of truckers will be unemployed
