Happy World Book Day! Currently reading Artemis by Andy Weir.
For about $2.5 billion a day, we could provide a $500 per month UBI to every American β adults and kids. Poverty would be reduced by 65%. Child poverty would drop by over 80%. Extreme poverty would be essentially eliminated. Inequality would drop by about 20%.
We can do/be so much better than this.
Debated AI and jobs last week for Open to Debate and itβs going to air this weekend on NPR - excited for people to hear it.

I donβt know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Millions of offoce jobs are going to evaporate in the next 12 - 24 months - this will be an epic diaster for millions of workers and families. blog.andrewyang.com/p/the-end-of...
Universal basic income is not the ENTIRE solution. Of course we need other things too (like M4A) but it's the missing floor that can rise as GDP rises. Plus UBI will empower a lot of work, paid and unpaid, and create jobs by its spending. With that foundation we can better achieve what else we need.
Itβs official - AI is replacing both jobs and enterprises. blog.andrewyang.com/p/the-ai-mel...

Andrew Yang quote. It's not money for nothing. You're an owner and shareholder of the richest country in the history of the world. This is capitalism where income doesn't start at zero. Universal Basic Income
UBI now
We should be compensated for our data like Alaska has for 50 years with their oil dividend.
"It's not money for nothing. You're an owner and shareholder of the richest country in the history of the world. This is capitalism where income doesn't start at zero."
Universal Basic Income
Itβs becoming increasingly clear that AI is going to kick millions of knowledge workers to the curb and our political class wonβt do a damn thing while our way of life gets changed forever.
Yang was right. We should have listened.

Thank you, Betty. I am just starting to limp with a cane. I hope to move back into my own bed in the next couple of days.
