Listen now | We’re so glad that Andrew Yang was able to join us this week after his recovery from COVID-19. At last, we got to sit down with him and dig into the million-dollar questions about his advocacy for a UBI and how that fight has changed in the last year, his stance on Medicare for All, his thoughts on the NYC political landscape, and more. Yang is currently running for the NYC mayoralty, meaning that he’s spending his time thinking about how to address economic struggle, post-pandemic renewal, and issues of social justice from a position of political power. This conversation gave us a window into his unique approach to these issues, and we’re happy to share it with you now.
Several years ago ASCE said $4 trillion to just fix what is broken, another $4 trillion to add new stuff like mag lev trains, etc. $10 trillion spread out over 1-15 years sounds about right. I am a retired civil engineer.

One thing I love about Yang is how he comes off as so open and forward, so his BDS response is really quite interesting. I wonder if he realises that it's really obvious when he's throwing political BS rhetoric, because the moment he's asked that question he has a giant pause, he makes a statement, and when asked to follow up, he repeats the original statement, more or less revealing that this is a pre-planned answer to a question to hoodwink a certain group rather than his actual thoughts on the subject.
Man this is creepy and erie look how Yang completely goes into politician Drone mode and changes his entire tone of voice and rhetoric when asked about Palestine it's like talking to a totally different person. DUDE!!! IS PALESTINE REALLY THAT SCREWED???
Salient question to Andrew Yang is why UBI as opposed to Universal Basic Services. UBI keeps us as individuals while UBS unites us. UBS creates and builds up institutions -attaining levels of permanence. For instance, here in Canada you cut your thumb we don't just give you $100 bucks and send you out into the medical marketplace, we instead have universal health care. Its easy for the gov to cut off UBI, much more difficult to destroy service-providing no or fractional-cost institutions once in place and proving their worth through service efficacy and cost efficiency. Individualism vs universalism.
Kyle, I know it’s a side point, but you really need to read The Lorax. It has a very powerful message. It’s only a 5 minute read.
