That's great. I'm going to try to convince some centrists to our side. or at least try to explain where we are coming from, so we don't fight in the future. Just gonna cut and paste the articles below


ON The Freedom dividend


This is a Hushida self service order kiosk

https://www.amazon.com/HUSHIDA-Capacitive-Restaurant-Supermarket-Included/dp/B07TXTHX6Y/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=self+service+kiosk+restaurant&qid=1565834090&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I'm sure you have seen at least one of these. They're starting to pop up everywhere. Current sale price on amazon is $1641.79, you can get one on Alibaba.com for even cheaper at $1275. Now lets assume a minimum wage of $15 and for the purposes of this experiment, let us use the higher figure.

If we replace 1 worker at minimum wage, our break even point is

1641.79/15 =109.5

109.5 hours in. So in approximately 5 days we will recover our money. But wait, each machine should be able to do the work of 2 workers, pressing a picture of an item yourself is much faster than telling another person to do it for you right? So let's fire 2 workers and we'll recover the costs in 2 days.

I understand that we are conditioned to believe that technology creates jobs. But in this case the jobs created will be in China, where these kiosks will be manufactured.



But that's different, its fast food workers, and supermarket workers and cashiers everywhere, not me. I am a highly educated person, those people should have studied harder and got a degree. Then they would be safe right?

How about radiologists? They have a medical degree. Are they safe?

http://news.mit.edu/2019/using-ai-predict-breast-cancer-and-personalize-care-0507

MIT is proving otherwise. We are soon going to be able to use AI to detect breast cancer. And we will be able detect it earlier, which will save so many lives. People think they would prefer a human doctor, but soon they will not have a choice, it would be irresponsible not to let an AI do a job which can save your life. And most people prefer to live than they like their doctor.

Many more examples are heading our way

accountants - https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/28/goodbye-accountants-startup-builds-ai-to-automate-all-your-accounting/

lawyers - https://www.zdnet.com/article/lawyers-on-the-automation-chopping-block-as-ai-gets-jd/



Now, I think we can both agree that this wave of job loss would be terrible for society. As more people are pushed into financial distress, more crime and destruction will occur. But if this is such a serious problem, why haven't other countries reacted to this? The answer is that they have.

China- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social\_Credit\_System

https://www.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4/?r=US&IR=T

While not overtly stated, a social credit system is an excellent way to control a population during mass societal change. Such as an automation wave. Many other countries are considering such measures to curb crime and control their populations. For instance Australia: https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2019/04/chinas-people-monitoring-software-being-deployed-in-darwin/

Is the freedom dividend perfect? Of course not! But is it a good response to the problems I have stated above? I hope you will eventually agree with me. I am in the manufacturing industry and I will be one of the people who will reap massive gains from this technological wave of innovation. I can see how my competitors and I will grow increasingly wealthy. But I have no interest in living in a bunker underground, like a worm surrounded in stacks of cash, just to avoid being harmed. Do not let me steal the sun away from myself. I need your help too.

tl;dr: Jobs programs have perverse incentives &

tl;dr: Don't give the government another army until they learn to use the one they already have.

Jobs programs are incredibly hard to make work. Of course you may get people who do not perform who cannot be fired. But thats the least worst thing about it. Please allow me to go through two worse outcomes.

Milton recalled traveling to an Asian country in the 1960s and visiting a worksite where a new canal was being built. He was shocked to see that, instead of modern tractors and earth movers, the workers had shovels. He asked why there were so few machines. The government bureaucrat explained: “You don’t understand. This is a jobs program.” To which Milton replied: “Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it’s jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels.”

This is a story about Milton Friedman, Nobel prize winning economist. We may laugh at the implication but the truth is that this is currently happening all the time. Have you ever interacted with a government body and wondered to yourself "why cant i do this online" or "why is this not automated/easier". The horrible truth is that its because they need to have a warm body to do that. Departments won't fire them or their budget goes down, after all its not their money, its at cost to taxpayers. But the problem with that of course is that society as a whole keeps having to pay both in money and in time/frustration. Incentives are key to defining and developing any economic policy, it is a disservice assume that players will not game the system.

This problem is not just annoying, it could be life threatening. See what happens when an organization like the VA leans into this

https://www.stripes.com/va-officials-say-they-were-blindsided-by-computer-problems-process-changes-on-gi-bill-payments-1.557549

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/11/veterans-affairs-it-problems-hold-up-vets-benefits-for-months/

These articles are from less than a year ago. Heres a clip of Jon Stewart (remember him?) talking about it ages ago

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/tdgdwm/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-the-red-tape-diaries---a-modernized-department-of-veterans-affairs

We are never going to solve this problem. Our incentives are wrong.

The next problem is one of government direction. In any guaranteed job program, the government has to direct the workers to various tasks. They're not just going to walk around Johnny Appleseed style and install solar panels are they?

Now lets assume that the best case scenario occurs. We initiate a jobs program, they are deployed to build green infrastructure and everything goes according to plan. eventually installation is going to be complete. Solar cells are highly durable and require little maintenance. The usual retort is of course well then they will move onto other infrastructure projects. But of course, these projects tend to be fairly durable and last a long time. so your choices when the major infrastructure projects are complete are

Rip out serviceable existing infrastructure just so that people you have guaranteed a job to will continue to have work

pay people to not do anything.

Now option 1 is wasteful but option 2 is dystopian.

Here's why, lets say such a program was undertaken 20 years ago. more than enough time with enough manpower to get most of the miscellaneous work done. What would be happening now?

They would be building a wall on the southern boarder.

A man like trump could easily convince others that instead of paying people to laze about, we force them to work on his vanity project. Say nothing of the lives that will be lost on the Mexican side. the human cost of forcing people to build a wall in remote and dangerous conditions, the accidents that will occur and the compelling of people to do something they may not agree with just so they can continue to eat.

Jobs programs assume that governments will always be helmed by rational people who are looking out for what is best for their people. If you are a republican you didnt have that for 8 years in the previous admin and if you are a democrat you dont have that now. Why would you assume you will have it in the future? The government does not do well with the army that they currently have, deploying them in wasteful and often tragic ways. Why in the world would you give them another "peasant" army in hopes that they will suddenly be better?

I hope I was not too hard on you. A jobs guarantee is a great idea, the problem is we may not always have the best people executing them. A UBI puts resources in the hands of the people, who generally make good decisions and even when they don't, do not make poor decisions at a large enough scale to harm the entire system. Governments do not have that luxury and thus should be very careful to consider perverse incentives and how that may affect their policies. Thanks for your time.

If you have any thoughts let me know. Super nervous going to other subreddits and posting but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Here's an abridged version of the chapter on medical licensing in this book.. It's a good little intro to the topic.

>...the role of licensing has been largely ignored in the debate on spiraling healthcare costs. The apparent explanation is that nobody can imagine that there is any alternative. The complexity of modern medicine, the need for extensive training to master that complexity, and the harms that can be inflicted by incompetent physicians all lead to the seemingly obvious conclusion that state screening of physicians is inescapably necessary...

>This point of view was encapsulated in an exchange between Justices Stephen Breyer and Antonin Scalia in a recent Supreme Court case that addressed the composition of state licensing boards for dentists. During oral argument Breyer observed, “I would like brain surgeons to decide [who can perform brain surgery in this state].” Scalia, no stranger to dissent, found nothing to disagree with. “I want a neurologist to decide,” he added.

>A strong status quo bias is understandable here; after all, state licensing of doctors has been around for more than a century. When looking at
the situation with fresh eyes, it is striking how little in the way of genuine consumer protection the current licensing system provides. Indeed, there are good arguments that existing policies actually reduce the overall quality of American healthcare.

>Let’s start with the fact that Justices Breyer and Scalia were incorrect in thinking that state licensing decides who can perform brain surgery. A medical license entitles its holder to practice medicine generally; no specialties are licensed by the state. Complete an approved residency program in the United States in podiatry, pass the state medical examination, and you are legally authorized to do brain surgery, heart transplants, or any other procedure you wish. Given how specialized medicine is these days, a state medical license is therefore not a reliable indicator of relevant competence in a wide range of critical, life-or-death situations.

>Furthermore, medical licensing’s stringent requirements are imposed only on those entering the profession. Since a career can span many decades, during which time best practices frequently change in dramatic fashion, the mere possession of a license offers little assurance that large numbers of practicing doctors are actually competent. Yes, licensing boards do have the power to suspend or revoke licenses as well as
issue fines and reprimands, but the actual discipline imposed by such boards is notoriously lax. Of doctors who made at least 10 separate malpractice payments between 1990 and 2005, only one third received any kind of discipline from their state medical boards. When sanctions are imposed, they are usually for illegally prescribing drugs, substance abuse, or inappropriate behavior with patients, not simple incompetence.

>Virtually all the real quality screening that does occur is performed by the private sector. Private specialty boards certify competence in particular practice areas. Practice groups and health maintenance organizations decide which physicians to hire, while hospitals decide which physicians will be granted admitting and surgical privileges. These decisions about employment and affiliations are made with a view toward burnishing and safeguarding reputation and minimizing exposure to liability.

>In particular, the looming threat of malpractice liability, and the consequent need to acquire insurance, creates strong incentives for greater quality. Insurance premiums are heavily experience-rated, meaning they go up sharply for physicians who have to pay claims. Malpractice insurers offer discounts for participation in risk management programs; they impose surcharges for things like failed board examinations and failure to obtain hospital privileges. They can even restrict a
physician’s practice or require supervision or more training. Despite claims from conservatives and the medical profession that the system is out of control, there is good evidence that malpractice awards are in line with actual damages and little evidence that a so-called liability crisis is driving doctors out of practice or forcing them into wasteful defensive medicine. All told, normal commercial motives for providing good service,
backstopped by the courts and malpractice insurers, do much more to protect the public from bad doctors than anything accomplished by state
medical boards.

>...

> In addition, licensing can reduce the quality of healthcare provision by constricting the supply of doctors, raising their fees, and thereby inducing people not to go to the doctor. Instead, they rely on self-help or seek out some non-mainstream but more affordable alternative. By reducing the number of qualified physicians and thereby boosting the market share of homeopaths, nutritional supplement hawkers, crystal therapists, and other assorted quacks, licensing pushes the overall quality of healthcare downward.

>...

>Most analysis of American doctors’ lavish pay focuses on the demand side—in particular, heavy reliance on third-party payment (whether by private insurers or the government through Medicare and Medicaid) that renders the actual consumers of healthcare (patients) indifferent to costs at the point of sale, as well as the continued dominance of a “fee for service” payment model that effectively rewards doctors for inefficiency. But supply-side factors play an important role as well.

>First of all, the rigorous training and examination requirements imposed by state licensing act directly to impede entry into the medical profession. Furthermore, these entry barriers are buttressed by limits on who can provide the necessary training. Under state licensing laws, the American Medical Association is vested with the authority to provide accreditation for U.S. medical schools, and accreditation is limited to a particular class size. Thus the medical profession controls how many newly minted MDs are produced in the country every year. From 1980 until around 2005, the number of medical school slots was frozen at around 16,000 first-year students; since then, expansion has brought the number above 20,000.

>Although graduation from a U.S. medical school is not required to obtain a medical license, completion of a U.S. residency program is (in
contrast to other advanced countries, which regularly license foreign-born physicians who did their training abroad). The U.S. residency requirement, combined with highly restrictive policies on high-skill immigration, makes AMA power over medical school accreditation a powerful
lever to constrict supply. Meanwhile, by historical accident the vast bulk of funding for residency slots is provided by Medicare, and for cost saving reasons the number of slots has been frozen since 1997. In 2016, for example, 8,640 graduates of accredited medical schools who applied for residencies—or roughly a quarter of all applicants—failed to be given a match. The consequence is that, at a time when there is a
desperate need for more general practitioners, thousands of graduates of medical schools are prevented from becoming doctors.

>The final layer of supply control consists of laws against the unauthorized practice of medicine. Here physicians have lost some ground in recent decades as midlevel healthcare professionals—physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and midwives—have won the right to
perform many functions previously reserved for M.D.s. The liberalization remains patchy; currently, just 21 states and the District of Columbia allow nurse practitioners to diagnose and treat patients and prescribe medication without a physician’s supervision.

>The regulation of entry into the dental profession follows the same general pattern as that for doctors. All dentists must graduate from an
accredited dental school in the United States, with the limited exception that some schools in Canada have also been approved. A commission operating under the auspices of the American Dental Association performs accreditation. Dentists must also pass a licensing exam, whose relative rigor has much more to do with improving earnings for dentists than improving outcomes for patients. A study by Morris Kleiner and Robert Kudrle examined differences in pass rates among the states to gauge the effect of entry regulation. They estimated that dentists in the most restrictive states earned 12 percent more than their colleagues in the least restrictive states; however, they were unable to find any evidence that the quality of care was higher in the more restrictive states.

This is a good thing, do not worry, just keep on coming and organizing. The media did not elect Trump and they will not elect Yang, so let them swing in the wind while the Spirit sweeps across the minds of the Nation. He needs to talk about Universal Birthright, the moral foundation of egalitarian consciousness and a spiritual progress, a claim to a share of the Natural resources of the land and Free Market Hemp. The Marijuana Movement is the largest and most viable grass roots movement in the land. We have the political coalition to win, we won Florida with over 71 percent of the vote. We have won with the Plebiscite, by Direct Democracy and would have carried Hillary had she supported our righteous cause and will definitely carry AY to victory is he will support US we will support Him. And do not give me any BS about single issue this or that, because we have the NUMBERS .....

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone when I say this but Andrew Yang's message clicked with me almost immediately. It's no coincidence when a politician posts 100+ policies and a majority of them matches with your view.

I remember very early on Andrews bid for presidency was front page of /r/futurology. I think it is very important to maintain the effort to be inclusive and convert new voters. But I'm sure there are still a huge number of people that didn't need any convincing but just haven't heard of Andrew's campaign.

One thing that really struck me when hearing Andrew speak on Freakonomics was that this guy actually respects the academia aspect of Economics. Instead of the average politician that panders by regurgitating highschool level macroecon concepts, this guy seemed to actually understand what he's talking about. So I bought his book:
https://www.amazon.com/War-Normal-People-Disappearing-Universal/dp/0316414247

And that was really what put me on 100% for Yang. If you guys haven't read this already, I highly recommend it. If Andrew was writing stuff like this when I was in school, it would've influenced all my research.

The strategy of pushing tiny snippets of Yang to the mainstream like his interviews or listing his top 10 views is great. But Yang is more than that. He has actual substance that most other candidates lack. So for the "research" phase of this post, one of the first steps should be to read this book!

I'm not sure how we can get this book into more hands? Are there political book clubs? Can we get this on more must read lists?

u/Johnny_15 · 15 pointsr/YangForPresidentHQ

>She's also intrigued about the idea of UBI but isn't necessarily 100% sold on it as far as I can tell.

She is, and I think that’s one of the big reasons why she supports Yang. She wrote a book supporting the need for UBI before Yang’s book was released. She was also asked by Yang to review his book before publishing. Krystal is all about helping the white working class, who are often overlooked and left behind. She brought him on her show when she was with MSNBC and Yang worked at VFA, since he was helping create jobs in these disenfranchised areas that she’s concerned about. So she already had an affinity for him, wanting him to succeed, especially as an outside underdog. They both have the same interests in mind.

Krystal has a personal soft spot for Bernie, though, that she and many others can’t let go. She was really invested in 2016, even going on a campaign tour with him. There’s a reason why she didn’t pick a side with the UBI vs FJG discussion, even though she wrote a book explaining the need for UBI. 😉

Hard to make that argument, both cows and humans are 100% sentient. You're looking for sapience, which is humanlike intelligence such as wisdom.

However, it's hard to even say definitively that cows are not sapient. There's so much evidence of animal intelligence on a sliding scale with humans at one end of the scale, and you're talking as if humans were somehow independent of the scale.
If you're interested in this topic, I highly recommend the book Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?
It's an incredibly deep investigation into the nature of animal intelligence and the controversy surrounding the science of it. It changed the way I see animals.

Very interesting topic. The economies of Korea and Japan are not the neo liberal free market capitalistic states that the mainstream would like you to believe.

Yang is Taiwanese. He was born in New York, went to Exeter (the No.1 private high school in the US) and Brown. He got his law degree from Columbia University. He does not even speak Mandarin. (or just a little bit) His career was all about tech startups and created thousands of jobs for America. I am curious how you would become worry that he has any connection with the PRC. Taiwan and US are alliances!

I am from mainland China but I spent 6 years in the US, legally. Full scholarship and full-time job. I was quite surprised to find out about the misunderstandings between America and Chinese people. I wish you could one day visit China and see how different it is from the narratives you read about in your media.

For the meantime, I would recommend you to read the former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan-Yew’s opinion about China and US. Probably this book by a Harvard professor:

https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Kuan-Yew-Insights-international/dp/0262019124/

Lee as the third-party and one of the best country leaders provide a lot of insights in this book.

Sorry, but there's a reason free-to-play become popular as a means of getting a large base. Some people weren't willing to pay subscription fees 15 years ago, there are still going to be people that don't want to or can't afford that today.

And just a note: just because new releases cost $60 doesn't mean that's what cheap/poorer gamers pay. You can get bargain bin, greatest hits, etc. for $15-20. Even today.

Just to add to the other replies, here is part of a talk that explains part of the relationship between MMT and FJG.
https://youtu.be/7sd-ElKMbPI?t=508

Economics Professor L. Randall, one could say "wrote the book"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1137539909/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 on MMT.

To get an idea on how most people in the field view MMT, although the phrasing of the question may indicate a bias more hostile towards MMT, this answer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbG6rLgw7_Y by the current Fed Chair is a good summary.

MMT and FJG are not necessarily tied to each other, it's just that the framework that many MMT advocates currently hold uses FJG.

i.e.
There is not a, MMT derived, theoretical reason why a country's MMT based economic policy would not work with or without the FJG. The same would hold true for a FD or UBI.


Note:
To really understand MMT, its context and implications one really needs to dig deep into traditional economics, quantitative social science, and heterodox economics. MMT is, in a tiny way, like quantum physics in the sense that if anyone tells you they really understand modern monetary policy and how MMT fits into it, they don't. Hence why you'll get many replies to the question "What is MMT?" that are seemingly unconfident.

The Institute for New Economic Thinking's youtube channel is a good resource that is presented in a manner that most people can understand.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp5hG8rt1z2MJ9aNVxY2Xdg

There are many books I could recommend, but Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises by Ray Dalio is available for free, link: https://www.bridgewater.com/big-debt-crises/Principles-For-Navigating-Big-Debt-Crises-By-Ray-Dalio.pdf and while it would be a roundabout way to understanding econ policy the first 15 pages or so should give one enough context to better understand what people are talking about in regards to policy recommendations and MMT.

I guess he can always say "people I know in Silicone Valley." But that would sound like Trump's exaggeration/lying. Besides, what if those "people" are actually his friends. I will be very surprised if he and Kai-Fu Lee are not friends. Silicone Valley is littered with people with Asian persuasion, be it East or South. If he kept his mouth shut about his relationships there, then you can imagine some people accusing him of trying to cover up his "techbro" cred. Anyway, transparency is the best policy.
Edit: BTW, Yang is not a techbro. Not sure why people think he is.

International Yang Gang can phone bank or text bank for the campaign. It's the most impactful way to help. This video should help, if you want to phone bank (there might bea more updated video out there though): https://youtu.be/iohN7qG4ylg

You could donate to Steve Dannely's patreon. Steve does unofficial advertising for Yang and is planning to mail out 5,000 cards to older voters in New Hampshire. I got confirmation from him that international people can donate to him. Here's a link to his patreon: https://www.patreon.com/stevedannely

You can also buy "The War on Normal People." I think Yang is using the profits from this book to help fund the campaign. Here's a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/War-Normal-People-Disappearing-Universal/dp/0316414247

Let me start by saying that I Love Bernie, he got screwed in 2016 by the DNC, i was really choked about it.

Raising the minimum wage to 15$ by 2024 would mean that 40 million people would see a pay increase, that's great! and it should be done, however implementing the freedom dividend would put $1000 a month into the hands of over 240 Million Americans.

240 million > 40 million

The number's that really stood out to me is the fact that of the 206 million working age adults (18-64) 102 million of them don't currently have jobs. Think about that for a min, 102 million includes people going to school, taking time off to raise a family or people that have retired early but for the vast majority this economy has turned on them and they have given up on looking to taken some sort of disability. I could also add numbers around under employment or people working multiple jobs to make ends meet but at this point its just overkill.

But we are at record lows for unemployment! you say, yes but the unemployment number is massively flawed in that it doesn't include anyone that isn't actively looking for a job or on some sort of disability.

In addition to these staggering numbers automation marches on, we aren't bringing any of these jobs lost to automation back, sure new jobs will be created but at a terrible ratio and automation will continue to leave a wake of people who's labor isn't worth what it use to be.

I challenge you please read his book "the war on normal people" (https://www.amazon.com/The-War-on-Normal-People/dp/B07BSHJ8RB you can do the audible free trial and get it for free.) And not get changed over to the #yanggang. This isn't like sports were you can be excused for liking any candidate for any reason. We need the best candidate to solve the problems of the 21st century.

thanks for reading if you got this far.

I find Ryan Holiday to be a fairly annoying writer but have you read this?

I don't think it would benefit Yang to be associated with Peter Thiel in any way.

Yes it says MATH and the shirt says MATH as well.

Meow Homan says the hat was bought on Amazon:

Then followed this tutorial to cut the MATH letters and glue them with fabric glue.

It is the OG scarf!
You can get it here
The price has gone up a couple bucks since Yang popularized it.

I got these for my Yang bumper stickers. They are larger than the bumper stickers but i just centered them. They work well!

Its actually really soft, just like reviews state. Not sure how durable it will be in the long run, but I'll probably only wear it to rallies and around the primaries and general.

EDIT: Also, I noticed he seems to alternate between the scarf I have and a more knitted, lighter colored one. I wasn't able to find that one.

I'm waiting on my stickers to come in. I hate the idea of using adhesive to put a sticker on my car so I got these magnets to put it on. For everyone else out there who is wary of stickers use these and let's get as many vehicles out there showing our support.

I got mine the other day. It's the exact same one he wears.
I offset by donating $ directly to the campaign.

Good question. Yang addresses this in his book- The War On Normal People.

In brief, the changes brought about by AI and advanced robotics are unprecedented in scope and depth; far more so than the Industrial revolution. These changes cause much more fundamental shifts in both efficiency and labor requirements and are particularly severe for the middle class.
