    Andrew Yang has a great term for this:

    Democracy Dollars

    Also his term for UBI:

    Freedom Dividend

    Great naming lol. Like who could hate something called “Freedom Dividend” and “Democracy Dollars” 😅 (Magats would hate it, they hate democracy)

    Other Policies, if you’re interested: https://2020.yang2020.com/policies/?tab=all

    If ranked choice was a thing, I’d probably rank Yang #1, Bernie #2. (Since Yang would probabky never get elected, so I might as well give him the #1 ranking, his ideas are cool)

      I used to be interested in the things Andrew Yang had to say back in 2020, especially with regard to UBI, but I’m really put off by him now. His whole schtick is a libertarian technocratic utopian fantasy. The expansion of welfare while simultaneously sucking up to oligarchs is just a way to preserve the capitalist status quo. He wants to breathe new life into the machine that’s exploiting us and destroying the planet.

      His vision for the future is basically just the UN as depicted in The Expanse.
