Broke my heart when he drop out. Love this guy.

[rockoutconsiderably]

The presenter does an incredible job interviewing.

[technicolortony]

Also yangs plan is much more fiscally balanced and cheaper than all this stimulus we’re running right now.

This man is the most compassionate, humble, intelligent, skilled, process & product orientation driven, non-political leader the usa has. Andrew Yang should be the nominee & president!

[laxpsdlimbu]

A true leader in around the globe . American people should be very proud to have such a leader..

[damiarmyworld]

Yang is the most intelligent, smartest, data/science analyst, problem solver (Entrepreneur), economist, Lawyer I’ve ever seen ..He has such a natural way of expressing all the data driven solutions in a language anyone can understand, seriously its mind boggling to think Americans still vote for Grandpa aged politicians who are do out of date with today’s societies transforming economy.

What can we do on a personal level to help facilitate ubi?

[happios]

The Unemployment Office got rid of my claim or something so now i'm back to square one- with no answer from the offices calling 100 times an hour (obviously). I literally have no clue what to do now. Can you fix that?

[abesapien]

Let's not forget, we were originally told we would receive 2 stimulus checks of $1, 200...one on April 6th, and the other on May 18th. Let's hold them accountable.

I love Andrew but that tracking stuff has me nervous lol

[jcabusao]

Solution: implement Yangs solution using value added tax on Amazon

[snackasmversion]

Republicans: Andrew Yang wants socialism!

Me: You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Dear Andrew Yang, your exit strategy from presidential campaign was very bad. The pivot to HF has been slow and disorganized, especially in this urgent time of better policy leadership. Every entrepreneur knows that having strong exit strategies are more important than the startup strategy.

Has anyone thought about treating this pandemic with disaster insurance like flood insurance. Give big discounts for life and health insurance and let the insurance provider evaluate the risk and charge premiums accordingly. Let the insurance provider evaluate insurance premium based on the community, location tracking, testing history and insurance needs.

Lessen the financial burden of families/individuals by making living necessities/utilities such as internet/wifi, electric/gasoline and basic grocery/pantry goods at minimal or no cost would be much fiscally more effective and eliminates the huge variable that handing out checks and believing people will spend it properly is an unreliable belief.

How do you regulate SEC rules, collusion, inside trading with billionaires and investment firms, few firms to capital? You have finite investments market/enough corporations to invest in and enough investment firm to reduce the risk of these investments. It just seems investors and rich shareholders don’t necessarily need to collide in term of call, emails but in the manners they invest and rig the market in good times and in bad times. straight answer, not a bureaucratic. Enough crony politicians. Thks

Capitalism will still be needed so be open to the other side of the coin. We all could use both ways of life we could tackle problems that will face our society now and the future. If we all put our heads and hearts together we could probably solve the world problems sooner.
