I'd be seriously intrigued by him if he wasn't anti-2A. From his website:

GOALS
Create a common sense licensing policy, requiring investment and safety precautions
Prevent dangerous individuals from owning guns
Ban the manufacture, sale, and transfer of weapons and accessories that make it easier for individuals to commit mass shootings
Enhance mental health resources available to people who need help
Provide deescalation training and mental health professionals to law enforcement agencies to prevent interactions from becoming deadly

So yeah, I liked him until that trash.

His primary economic vision will help lift up all Americans, which I firmly believe will reduce the occurrence of mass shootings. It’s the economic distress faced by entire sectors and communities that is leading to the degradation of society, feelings of hopelessness, and acts of criminality. He’s not coming for our guns.

Yang is a bit of a visionary - he's right on the money with regards to the shifting of the American economy from one of muscles to one of brains. Millions are going to be out of work in the next 15 years due to advances in robotics, driverless vehicles and AI.

Unfortunately, that warning doesn't fit with the Identify Politics playbook. The Central Party will do what they can to ignore it.

The Throbber doesn't like UBI at all. Period. There has to be a quid pro quo. You want your $1000 per month? Serve at a soup kitchen 10 hours per month. Pick up litter in a national/state park for 2 days each month. Whatever. Just do something of value besides refreshing the browser to see whether the $1K direct deposit hit. Anything. But free shit for nothing is part of what got us? here in the first place.

This is one of my biggest issues with the whole “free college” or UBI plans...nothing is free, someone always picks up the check. Who pays or how much is always up for debate, but there’s something psychologically powerful about chipping in even a small amount of money (or time in the case of volunteering)...I feel it gives people a sense of ownership which in turn leads to a greater sense of responsibility.
