As a Republican working for a Republican Committee (amazingly esp in the Senate some people actually cross the aisle so ya gotta sometimes say it lol) I would never want to be Trumps friend. His policies for the most part I agree with but as a person... that's not my cup of tea so to speak the way he carries himself and acts is in my opinion isn't great.
What's your opinion of Andrew Yang?
reply
I think he has some really good ideas I do not think though he would have been good as a President at the moment. He needs more experience in managing either a huge company or an agency in the government something that is massive and has a trillion factors going on.
Policy-wise I think he is a little to optimistic but I think that's a good thing to aim high and when it doesn't work out how you want its alright

He was a big UBI guy right, or even the guy right?
He seems sharp but also far to socialist in his mindset. That's my opinion based on little exposure, for what its worth.

Well, as far as UBI goes, I think it's a better way to spend government money than most entitlements.
But i disagree with UBI for other reasons. it's naive to think that you can simply replace government programs with UBI.
  • Even with UBI, some people are going to squander their money / not take care of themselves. They'll be homeless or on drugs or whatever anyway. And then people will vote to spend money to help them, even with UBI.
  • So I don't think UBI can possibly be a full replacement for other government programs, even though I think it would be a better use of government money.

Fair. I assume you mean this due to the distorting nature of most entitlements and the unintended consequences.
