Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang. Meeting with voters in New Hampshire. Making a lot of sense in my opinion. Take a listen.

I only like listened to the first 20 minutes, but like most of what he says.
I feel as though he doesn’t emphasize enough that white collar workers will be greatly affected as software and AI continue to grow. Lawyers, accountants and even medical doctors will find much of their work taken over by machines.
I really can’t envision a scenario where a UBI isn’t a necessity for most people’s survival.

The other thing he mentioned that resonates with me is that our primary system really doesn’t serve the majority of the country. By the time the last state’s hold their primaries, most of the candidates have dropped out. I think all primaries for national elections should be held the same day.

Just read his book, The War On Normal People, which I am currently doing. It says plenty about how automation is reducing employment for white collar jobs too.

He lost my interest as went on-and-on about his past. Get to the point!

Concise speech is best.

I didn’t find his history boring at all. The man is well edit, intelligent and compassionate - I think there are several good candidates in this regard.
He’ll be higher up on my watch list now.

Thank you so much! Andrew Yang is right about how automation is hurting American workers. As a country, we must address this.

I didn't realize the life expectancy rate in America has dropped in the last three years due to suicides and drug overdoses. That's appalling.
