I don't know how I ever doubted the guy. And deservedly, I feel terrible. Yang is just smarter than me and it's not even close.

I firmly believe that if UBI is passed in the US, it will be the biggest world change since democracy. It will transform the US into a leader again.

Andrew's core message is that we need to untether human value and economic value. I've lived a long time and I have never heard a politician utter that notion. It's so simple, obvious and radical. We've been brain-washed for so long to believe the more money we make the more valuable we
