Bennet and Patrick were WAY overdue on dropping out, good riddance. On Yang, it was time for him, and his political career is NOT done. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/andrew-yang-new-york-mayor-election-2020-drops-out-michael-bloomberg-latest-polls-a9331991.html https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-yang-nyc-mayor-20200212-mmihnhgfxrd2dcisjsefmk5cai-story.html https://nypost.com/2020/02/14/andrew-yang-thinks-new-york-city-should-adopt-a-universal-basic-income/ This could be amazing. Of all cities in the US, New York is probably the best poised for a localized UBI. It's practically a city state unto itself. New York could do it, and popularize it. It could breath new life into the city, which already has a bustling economy but not one that any but the super rich can really enjoy all that much. Yang could totally pull this off. I have my concerns about UBI, whether it will work, whether it will improve inequality or worsen it, but we'll never know without a good test, and I can't image a better laboratory. |
Yang should run for NYC Mayor next year so fox all the shit De Blasio has done
