Comments by "Just Me" (@JustMe-ec2ph) on "Don't Walk, Run! Productions" channel.

OH MY GOODNESS a channel that actually does great research and thinks harder! I have been one of the few in many comment sections on different videos calling out Yang on fear mongering on automation as well as posting some of what you have said in this video exposing Yang being so disingenuous implying some would be for his UBI that was for a totally DIFFERENT version! I can't remember in your video here if you mentioned Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT attached to his, too, so not the same at all as Yang's! Most if not all Yang supporters love the no strings attached as in not having to work for it or earn it. Yang supporters act like Yang is for poor people yet Yang would make some of the poorest people choose between UBI and their current assistance while Yang gives it to every wealthy person in the country in ADDITION to their incomes. As far as I am concerned Yang is a total fraud. Thank you so much for speaking truth to power!

@birhanuashagrie8441 Well, first off for Yang or any candidate to be trustworthy they can't be disingenuous! If they imply someone does or would support their policy and then come to find out it's not the SAME version/policy then they lose creditably on whatever else they would say IMO. If it's not the same you can't assume someone would be for it. I have too much to post in one reply but I will start on the research I've done that has BOTH the pros and cons in it that 144 references came up with their.... 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. If Charles Murray's version of UBI got passed that would hurt both the middle class and poor more than what UBI would help!

@birhanuashagrie8441 This is what I have on automation...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've already taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Jared Bernstein quote https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-09-07/automation-really-blame-lost-manufacturing-jobs “From an economic perspective . . . there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories.” "Yet this view reflects a misreading of the data. As I discuss in a recent paper, although automation is occurring in manufacturing, as it is in other sectors of the economy, the evidence does not support the idea that automation was the main cause of the sudden decline in manufacturing employment after 2000. Although it’s difficult to precisely pin down what was to blame, a large body of research suggests that economists and pundits are wrong to so quickly dismiss trade and to blame machines."

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 you can't say economists support Yang's UBI unless it's a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. 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 There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more! Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s When Yang was asked Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, "just wouldn't do it all at once." Spin it or interpret it however you want but Yang did not push back on what Rubin said, Yang didn't say that was not how he would do it but Yang was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poorest people more than UBI helps them! And we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI and no way both would pass. Yang even has at his website about Friedman so what about Friedman? Yang has there about Friedman wanting to replace welfare programs with UBI. Wonder why Yang has that there? I am aware there are other interviews with Yang saying he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. I guess with all of his flip flops you will just have to decide which Yang in which interview you want to trust/believe. 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."
