there are a lot of emerging programs for inner city gardening. community raised bed gardens. some cities like Detroit, iirc, are doing it in abandoned industrial areas. but most people can fill their vegetable needs with just a 3' x 5' balcony. our society has just lost most of it's desire to do that. (largely due to working too much and food being too convenient)



his point on work is that UBI kills motivation and stops people from working, which is an ignorant mindset to have. i will continue to call people stupid that operate on strawman arguments and falsehoods. i also call people taking Yang's 1000$/month/person literally stupid. but i can try to be more balanced in who i call stupid.



newdeal type local cleanup programs could be a good idea generally. and govt intervention in sector collapses could always be a good idea. re-training for truck drivers or coal miners for example, as compared to simply propping up solar markets and letting the shit work itself out. do i think the govt should be overly concerned with creating labor tho, not really. maybe in the way of reforming education for a new dawn of less labor, perhaps more emphasis on self reliance.

Based

I'd either invest the 1k a month or maybe think about buying a house.

The main reason I support Yang though is he's the only candidate with the right view on nuclear energy and has the right idea on campaign fiance reform. Also the US implementing a VAT I think is needed. It'd be a good way to circumvent companies skirting paying taxes.

Just look at these policies. Most of his stances are pretty reasonable in my opinion.

Yang/Gabbard or Gabbard/Yang 2020.

Human nature is always how to get the most with doing the least. You don't think UBI kills motivation? Have you not seen the people on welfare, or just the general mass abuse of any sort of program or hand out? Why do you think uneducated people like socialism so much? I'm all for UBI if it ends up replacing the welfare state which as a result also takes out a ton of overpaid admin but let's not kid ourselves the competition of necessity aspect of life is the only reason a ton of people work at all.

Privileged lefties aren’t gonna vote for two candidates who don’t immediately default to identity politics but yeah, they’d sweep a lot of independents in a non-President Trump election. It’d be quite the ticket for sure and most here and imo America in general would be for a lot of their policies (and the memes dont hurt either)

Trump is king of identity politics. Most successful identity politician in the modern era.

yeah, “i will make a great economy for everyone in America” and actually doing it is ‘identity politics’. maybe in the same way that you voting for the white candidate who pushed the “black superpredator” crime bill and was mentored by someone who was in the kkk is proof you’re not a racist.

*LAUGH OUT LOUD*

Yang and Gabbard have yet to show any desire for divisive, backwards identity politics. Plus they’re the “wrong shade” of brown so a racist like you won’t entertain them. Typical two-faced northern privileged lefty nonsense
