Feel there are a lot more Yang supporters out there then what the polls say.

Yang is drawing from the Left the Right the Middle. Wait till February he is going to succeed.
I totally agree with everything you say. I also believe Andrew will be our next President. I will be utterly shocked if he isn't. I didn't donate $700 on minimum-wage earnings with no savings simply to gamble. Pity I can't do more -- though it was never up to me anyway: Andrew's the Zeitgeist incarnate, the flotsam and jetsam of the universe converging on a pivotal moment to produce precisely what is needed, the Man of the Hour who's naturally arisen out of circumstance to change circumstance: DEVS VULT.

Hopefully can lead to doing away with income taxes and personal taxes. Focus on having control over our taxes and consumption taxes only in the future.
Andrew said so on Iowa TV back in the spring; it isn't an official policy proposal since he believes it'll be quite a while before we can literally afford to abolish income taxes but that's what he'd like, too.

Seems like he has a genuine compassionate heart. A strong leader.
He's really something else, a true once-in-a-lifetime candidate. The man is a walking lottery ticket not just for America, but for the world -- you can bet that everyone will be clamoring for UBI once we have it!!

Donating $700 to a politician might not be the best use of your money if you are homeless and make minimum wage.

Luckily not homeless anymore but that's not saying much, I'd agree.

However, I am literally proud to have donated all I could. I've not felt this same sense of pride and love of country since Army infantry decades ago.

I'm literally pitching in to make the country -- and the world -- better.

I have no more money to give but I do phone-bank, text-bank, and "internet-bank" (like right now) when I can.

I've never done anything political, not even voted, never having felt that any politician -- including Bernie -- would actually affect my life directly and tremendously.

But with Andrew...it's such a perfect meeting of my own destiny and the fate of the world.

Not only can't I imagine what you might mean, I don't even know if you're referring to the fact that he's in an industrial environment or if, unknowable from this particular video, the fact that he's standing in the loading dock addressing an outdoor crowd on a chilly New Hampshire night...or something else entirely (i.e., I don't even know what the premise of your question could be).
You must be telepathic because you nailed it. He is seldom in a polished setting.

As for Ellis' post, it went over India's UBI program, and argued that bitcoin is a decentralizing force in the monetary system and automation being an unstoppable force.

I obviously disagree, so there was not much left to say. India's village economy is radically different from our credit based communities, and whereas a cash infusion can be seen as a stimulus for bartering societies, America's massive consumer economy where markets are all integrated mean consumption benefits one source (large financial institutions).

I've already talked about automation/blockchain so there is no point in repeating myself.

This is what happens when a person won't view the material that's been posted for their review and is exactly how gossip gets started.

I don't know about "this thread" but I can see for myself that you refuse evidence while insisting on your own preconceived notions, belying the point of a conversation.

Maybe you're just an "old soul."

Hmm, not sure what you mean by "polished" but he's usually in "comfortable" settings -- though the loading dock was a last-minute thing (they got kicked out of the brewery's more presentable public-facing bistro-like front-end due to overcrowding or something), it did remind me of his early campaign when he couldn't afford any venues fancier than workshop floors and warehouse spaces.

It's an interesting phenomenon; there simply are people in the world who will blab on and on about something at length while totally disregarding evidence and expert opinions, steadfast in their denial of reality even over the simplest matters.

Precluding old-fashioned trolling, there's got to be a neuro-biological basis for this kind of behavior.
