"We are going through the greatest technological and economic shift in human history and we need to get our heads out of our asses and start trying to tackle and address it. There's a freaking elephant in the middle of the room tearing everything apart and everyone's pretending like it's not there. ... We actually can solve these problems and we can build a better society for ourselves that involves valuing ourselves and our time in a way that's independent of the market." - Andrew Yang on Waking Up with Sam Harris. He's running for president in 2020.

Never going to happen. You've seen the people who vote against themselves to make sure that "the other" doesn't get a leg up on them, so what makes you think this will be any different?

Gotta have hope. It's a very reasonable solution to many problems.

I’m tired of sams voice. Can you sum it up? Every time I heard this explained it just seems like very macro 101 stuff like a transaction tax and merging existing benefit peograms. I am pretty skeptical.

Do you guys have to shit on everything? Have some optimism. Maybe it's cause I'm about to have a baby... but it seems to me this can be done right, and it's the right way to go. Something has to be done for crying out loud. ALL THE TRUCKERS ARE GONNA BE UNEMPLOYED SOON

I'm not shitting on it. I genuinely want to know if I can still become rich under this system?

Yes. But there's actually a more important, long-term goal of achieving a 'time banking' system, in which the aim is to value time well-spent, helping your neighbors, the elderly, etc.
