My #UBI read for the month:

The War on Normal People: The Truth About America's Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future

by Andrew Yang

I've been wanting to read this book for a while and I'm looking forward to finishing it

@ManyRoads
You're right

And with so many posters on Mastodon having many views on #berniesanders #andrewyang #aoc #newsom #ericswalwell #elizabethwarren ... What we need is #rankedchoicevoting

BUT WE HAVE DON'T HAVE THAT and we have the #electoralcollege

enuff of your mittens, I mean, damn emails, I mean #Biden bashing!

#Trump is a #demagogue and #pathologicalliar and it’s time to stop the bickering and nit-picking

#LloydDoggett, a Texas Democrat, has called for President #JoeBiden to withdraw from the #2024 election, citing concerns over Biden's performance and the need for a stronger candidate to face #Trump. Democrats like #AndrewYang and journalist #NicholasKristof echo this sentiment, suggesting that Biden's debate performance indicates a need for new leadership within the party. They propose potential replacements such as Governor #GretchenWhitmer and Senator #SherrodBrown.

For one year, low-income families in Austin, Texas, received $1,000 a month to do whatever they wanted; they spent it on rent and “substantially" improved their situations.

#BillAckman poured huge pile of $$ into #DeanPhillips campaign. And then Ackman “educated” Phillips. (Author calls Phillips “malleable”.) After which Phillips then deleted #DEI reference from campaign website. #AndrewYang is another “educator”. And — (my comment) with dismal showing in NH against someone whose name didn’t appear on ballot — apparently Phillips is now considering third-party candidacy.

Not coming out as soon as you thought, but still coming soon. Some of them are already on the road. And Covid gave the logistics industry a huge "shove" to get going with them. (Post-Covid, there are still issues with finding enough drivers.)

Tesla was one of the major forces for them, but now Elon is distracted with his new toy.

The biggest obstacles are laws in some states that do not allow #SelfDrivingVehicles.

@thehill @edgeoforever I am ashamed (but grateful for the learning opportunity) to have wasted my 2020 California primary vote on #AndrewYang.

I wonder if US Democratic politicians feel the least bit awkward or have any cognitive dissonence for remaining on Musk’s right-wing-controlled social media platform. To this day, the only US politician I have encountered on #Mastodon was #AndrewYang.
