No yangy my wangy...the Throbber need food.
-
Yang knows how to speak to people in an honor and respectful manner. Sorely needed in political discourse.
-
Angela Lee looks kind of saucy.
Wood.

Good interview. The dude is very articulate. That's not racist for Asians, right? Who else can't you call 'articulate'? The Throbber isn't on the daily race-baiting email notification list.
Some interesting ideas - he's absolutely right that the robots/automation is coming. But that's what happens when the cost of production becomes more than the cost of innovation.
He has better teeth than AOC too.
I'd need to see whether his wife is a hot Korean or a homely Cambodian before making any commitments to cheat on Melania and Ivanka.
-
Throbber. Your post made me lol. Good points.

-
That's awesome

No one would have excuse to donate to HH!!!
am I right??!! -
I think it's okay to call Asians articulate.PurpleThrobber said:Good interview. The dude is very articulate. That's not racist for Asians, right? Who else can't you call 'articulate'? The Throbber isn't on the daily race-baiting email notification list.

Pretty sure they fall into the same thing as white people and can be sneaky fast cerebral gym rats
Maybe roaddawg will confirm -
Agree on the future of robotics and automation ...PurpleThrobber said:Good interview. The dude is very articulate. That's not racist for Asians, right? Who else can't you call 'articulate'? The Throbber isn't on the daily race-baiting email notification list.

That being said any kind of technical, industrial, etc. revolution has historically proven that the needs of the future don't mean jobs vanish, it just means that the types of jobs change.
It's a good discussion point to me because it's something that we have to be conscious about going forward. That being said, I'm not convinced that giving $1k to each person solves the underlying issues.
We need more of these conversations though in politics and I hope that he has a platform from which to make his points during the Democratic primaries versus the typical socialism drivel that is largely coming from the left at this point. -
I agree, he is right that automation is actually here and will continue to be disruptive as it ramps up, but this is hardly the first major disruption we've had. We were primarily an agricultural economy prior to mechanization, primarily manufacturing prior to the information age, and so on. The result has always been a march towards a higher standard of living and greater opportunity, often in areas unknown prior to the disruption. There is no reason to think that that will not continue to be the case in the future.PurpleThrobber said:Good interview. The dude is very articulate. That's not racist for Asians, right?

My issue with the guy is that he is another left wing democrat in a field of left wing wing nuts. "Freedom Dividend" (UBI without changing the current welfare system), "Single Payer/universal health care", "Student Loan Forgiveness", "Democracy Dollars", "Reparations" ..... etc. He's better at applying the lipstick than Sandy, but that welfare state/socialist pig is still a welfare state/socialist pig. -
Indeed. The creative destruction of a vibrant and evolving economy will remain at a healthy pace. Then trump will put tariffs into place to protect his unskilled voters who can’t compete. Just like what’s going on now in the US manufacturing sector. LRR.Southerndawg said:

I agree with this. He's excellent at presenting the message. Unfortunately, he's delivering an extremely flawed message.jecornel said:Yang knows how to speak to people in an honor and respectful manner. Sorely needed in political discourse.

He is not for free college at least.
-
He surpassed 65,000 donations, so he will be part of the debates. Let's see how he does. UBI is Trump's wall. Extremely impactful to get your name traction. UBI is not a likely reality any time soon.Southerndawg said:

He'll be the smartest guy on the stage, and he won't be the furthest left, but he'll still be left of Great Grand Uncle Joe, the early presumptive winner of the DNC beauty contest and Trump taker downer sweepstakes. Yang's problem is the same as all lefties. He sees government as the solution to too many problems of which government involvement only exacerbates. It's disappointing. -
What’s his take on cow farts?
-
-
Unless you include "forgiveness" of student loan debt.jecornel said:He is not for free college at least.
-
He has not backed GND thankfully. He is serious border security and wants to legalize weed. Yes, seeing government as the solution provider a concern for sure.
-
I haven't heard him say that or I may missed it. I don't think you can offer debt forgiveness. Money borrowed is money owed.Southerndawg said:

-
He is at least aligned and onboard per his response to the question as to his position on the GND.jecornel said:He has not backed GND thankfully. He is serious border security and wants to legalize weed. Yes, seeing government as the solution provider a concern for sure.
He also backs rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement which has been exposed as a thinly veiled income redistribution scam.
The 2020 election is one the democrats can win rather easily, but they're going to play hell doing so with nothing more than different presentations of the same left wing ideology. -
He stated forgiving student loan debt as part of his platform in the video interview. He see's it as stimulative, which it would be, but it is also fundamentally wrong. As you said, and I wholeheartedly agree with, money borrowed is money owed.jecornel said:

Hopefully he adjusts his position on GND. That is not good.Southerndawg said:

That is pandering for votes. Debt relief should be taken off the table.Southerndawg said:

Yang differentiates himself by acknowledging the path to victory is via business expansion and growing the pie. The Throbber gets the sense that he is not a zero sum game kind of guy.
Now, he’s also saying he wants a much bigger portion of the new pie to pay for all this shit - but contends the even higher taxed pie would be bigger than the current pie.
The dividend analogy is brilliant.
He’s definitely the smartest motherfucker to jump into the campaign. Would like to see him gut AOC but I don’t think he’s going to waste his bullets on someone who isn’t his direct opponent.
Trump should keep an eye out on the guy. He may have the chops to pull an Obama v1.0 when everybody bought the bad gospel preacher hope and change bullshit.
Enough people bought the MAGA angle to put trump in the White House. Trump is going to be Hilary in 2020 where 30 or 40% of the people already just flat out hate him. He didn’t face that in round 2016.

Renaming UBI a "Freedom Dividend" was brilliant. The result of market testing. He's smart, there is no doubt about that.PurpleThrobber said:Yang differentiates himself by acknowledging the path to victory is via business expansion and growing the pie.

He'd do very well in the same states Hillary did well in. However, for the electoral math to work out for him, he would have to broaden his appeal, and that will be difficult given the diametric opposition many in those areas have to many of the left wing positions he has. We'll see. My guess is he doesn't make it out of the primaries. The big money will most likely get behind Great Grand Uncle Joe, or the Beto, or a Biden/Beto combo.

Bernie is the only candidate to beat him in individual donations in the past six weeks I believe. You are probably right that he won't make it out of the primaries. Bernie anything will be a net negative for all. Bernie should retire. Biden/Beto is star power. I think Trump beats any of those guys. Yang against Trump would at least provide some intrigue. Two people with zero background in the political system granted Trump now does have almost fours experience.
What is changing is people don't want political lifers running for prez.
My money is on Trump for 2020.
