Guest Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Not that I'm supporting his version of UBI, but no one else is talking about it and it needs to be talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a random douchbag country club friend from Curb Your Enthusiasm He's from Colorado, and he looks like Cory Gardner. I bet that's how Gardner got elected to the Senate--we (in Colorado) were really fuckin' confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martell Spy Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Biden draws criticism for pre-debate quip to Harris https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/31/biden-calls-harris-kid-1442874 Quote Joe Biden drew a quick online rebuke Wednesday night for an onstage interaction with Kamala Harris before the second Democratic debate in Detroit even began. As the moderators of CNN’s forum started introducing the candidates, the California senator walked out from the wings to face the audience and meet the former vice president at center stage. Biden’s first words to Harris were: “Go easy on me, kid.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why going by these outdated debates hosted by dipshit media members is a bad way to get a read on these people. They could say all the right things in public, but away from the mainstream cameras they are terrible. Why do they love him tho? I heard him on Chapo recently, and while I know NOTHING about him outside of that, he didn't seem alt-right at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrist Simon Steele Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 9 minutes ago, Martell Spy said: Yang has not called for social safety nets to be slashed. I haven't yet heard his healthcare opinions and would be interested to hear if he is against healthcare expansion. You are confusing libertarian UBI supporters with Yang. Not that this matters. He is not going to win, even with the support of the Yang Gang. Honestly, no matter how you feel about the Chapo podcast, the recent interview with Yang gives a lot of good info on how he feels about things. One thing that was mystifying to me was how you could get UBI (around a 1000) bucks, but you couldn't add that to unemployment or disability. I couldn't fathom why you couldn't have both.

I think the big takeaway I took from that interview was the idea that we do it to avoid a worker uprising against the ruling class. Obviously I'd rather it never get to that point, but the idea of a UBI as a means to keep workers docile and undermining the class struggle is wretched.

Bonnot OG Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Someone shouldve asked Yang about something like nuclear first strikes just to see how he could make it about UBI. here's $1000, build a nuclear plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
