haha yes

2019-09-12 00:37:55 UTC  

πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Congratulations!

Opinions about Andrew Yang?

2019-09-12 16:02:41 UTC  

Smart, good ideas

2019-09-12 16:03:41 UTC  

Ubi is the future, Americans aren't ready for it yet. Maybe once the previous generation finally dies off

2019-09-12 16:12:57 UTC  

Yikes

2019-09-12 16:13:02 UTC  

Imagine thinking UBI is good

2019-09-12 16:13:17 UTC  

The only way UBI is acceptable only if you dont get $1000 bucks at all

2019-09-12 16:13:39 UTC  

But instead is dispensed a card that only certain stores can accept

2019-09-12 16:13:44 UTC  

There's an argument that states that Alaska has already done something similar with great results

2019-09-12 16:13:46 UTC  

national communist bucks

2019-09-12 16:13:59 UTC  

Alaska does it because it's literally drilling up natural resourcse

2019-09-12 16:14:11 UTC  

Where is the $1000 buck derived from?

2019-09-12 16:14:17 UTC  

Yang isnt drilling natural resources

2019-09-12 16:14:20 UTC  

He's drilling into the service economy

2019-09-12 16:14:23 UTC  

with VAT

2019-09-12 16:14:32 UTC  

and removing welfare programs

2019-09-12 16:14:38 UTC  

Yang isn't all about UBI

2019-09-12 16:14:46 UTC  

There are other policies he's proposed

2019-09-12 16:14:58 UTC  

Yes like shilling for dreamers

2019-09-12 16:15:26 UTC  

The one where illegal immigrants have to wait twenty years before they get their citizenship

2019-09-12 16:15:53 UTC  

> illegal

2019-09-12 16:15:56 UTC  

> getting citizenship

2019-09-12 16:15:57 UTC  

choose one

2019-09-12 16:16:13 UTC  

do I have to close my eyes?

2019-09-12 16:16:31 UTC  

UBI ends up being a pretty big economic stimulator

2019-09-12 16:16:41 UTC  

It’s not a crazy idea

2019-09-12 16:16:55 UTC  

But would definitely require reworking the way we currently do the social safety net

2019-09-12 16:17:22 UTC  

At the end of the day Yang isn't going to win the presidential race so, at this point, UBI is just a thought experiment

2019-09-12 16:17:37 UTC  

The only thing UBI simulates is simulating foreign countries

2019-09-12 16:17:50 UTC  

*stimulates

2019-09-12 16:17:56 UTC  

no it is simulating foreign countries

2019-09-12 16:17:58 UTC  

not stimulating

2019-09-12 16:18:10 UTC  

How much $1000 can do in a different country

2019-09-12 16:18:14 UTC  

will have them larping as USA Lite

2019-09-12 16:18:54 UTC  

So is it an economic stimulator or simulator

2019-09-12 16:19:06 UTC  

Why would it stimulate foreign countries

2019-09-12 16:19:19 UTC  

Because why do you think some people come to America?

2019-09-12 16:19:25 UTC  

I mean if the US did it

2019-09-12 16:19:30 UTC  

Better opportunity. Help their family in their native country

2019-09-12 16:19:33 UTC  

There are all sorts of reasons people come to America
