Comments by "Just Me" (@JustMe-ec2ph) on "Campaign Co-Chairs on Political Party Live!" video.

Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. And in case some of you don't know when most of a post is in lowercase letters, it's not shouting to have a some words in caps when it's stressing a point There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT!

@pandorasplanners6458 For someone to say, "without turning this into a full out debate around policies and spend the rest of the week going back and forward, it's best to say we stand by our mens policies and leave that there " you sure didn't leave it there LOL Now, I'm not saying that to be mean or in anger but just out of my nature of joking at times. I already posted a lot to back up why I don't support or trust Yang (believe it or not I have more LOL) so I will leave it there LOL You have a nice Christmas, too. By the way, that UBI debate I posted previously believe it or not a Yang supporter gave me that link. He probably regrets it because it just made me more against UBI LOL

@endcorruptio I will tell you what comes closer to my not being calm is when I am calm and someone tells me to come down! LOL If I was not calm you would know it. Just because someone is passionate over their opinions, over policies, over issues, does not mean they aren't calm! I wouldn't have a perfect record for many years working with the public if I wasn't calm. Ok, got that? LOL I don't trust Yang, I know the intent of UBI doing my research I would not be for it regardless of who brought it to the table. I know Bernie in the past said he was open to it but he has never ran on it and I'm glad he didn't! I was open to it, too, although not Yang's version until I did research and now I'm not open to it and don't support it at all. It's Neoliberalism on Steroids! I could post pages on why I believe that and the research I've done but Steve Grumbine sums it all up pretty good for my views on it.

@endcorruptio Here we go with Nixon again without saying what he was really for! You know the VERSION of UBI. Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT with his and only for couples with children. Not the same at all but Yang and his supporters seem to conveniently leave that part out when implying someone would be for Yang's UBI.

@pandorasplanners6458 I do like it when people can be civil while disagreeing! I wish you the best, too, however lol You can't steer my vote because I've done a ton of research! Even though trust is a big part of my vote with reasons why I don't trust Yang, I do the research, too, so I can know why his policies are not as good, too! CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI. Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Why a Job Guarantee is Superior to UBI in Every Conceivable Way https://steemit.com/job/@smithwillsuffice/why-a-job-guarantee-is-superior-to-ubi-in-every-conceivable-way Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get."

@endcorruptio I don't care who you support but you don't tell me what issues to be for/against or to not give my opinions about them! For a Bernie supporter you sure have not done your research but whatever you do don't listen to Steve Grumbine because you sure won't tell him or others to "stop" that knows the risk that comes with a UBI. The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

@endcorruptio There is no way UBI would pass keeping all of the existing programs, and Bernie's Medicare for all which is the better healthcare plan, even if nothing else that we also need passed there is no way both of those would pass. That's not the purpose of UBI to have existing programs, too, much less Medicare for all which we need more.

@endcorruptio When someone mentions Nixon or anyone else being for UBI they should clarify what version he was for. It keeps there from being any misunderstandings from others that have thought Yang and Nixon's versions are the same. Hmmm did I mention you wanted Bernie to add UBI? Just because I pointed out he had been open to it but never ran on it as that I don't think I said you wanted Bernie to add UBI? Thanks for pointing out my bad habits LOL I would say you seem to have a bad habit of assuming someone isn't calm without knowing they aren't or want to pass along a personal insult if they write something you don't like but yes, agree to disagree!

@endcorruptio I didn't put any words in your or anyone's mouth! I didn't ask you to reply to my comments and I didn't bring up Nixon just because I responded to it! You have a right to express whatever opinion you have about UBI or anything else as do I.
