  1. "Human-centered Capitalism" is an oxymoron.

  2. If you really believe Bernie Sanders of all people sold out, but Yang somehow didn't, I'd love to hear your reasoning.

  3. & not even very good vague ideas. When someone like Nina Turner talks about "Soul", "caring for others", "Fighting for someone other than yourself" and such, it's at least obscure notions that speak to our human nature to want to draft policies that help everyone & don't leave anyone out of the equation; looking past our own political wants and desires and pushing for policies that would help others who really need it. When I see a term like "human-centered capitalism", it just seems contradictory and a way to sell people on "kind" Capitalism as long as its not too inconvenient for corporations.

  4. I never liked Yang's whole thing about "Not Left or Right, but Forward". It always reminded me of the word salad that Pete Buttigieg was vomiting at the time.

  5. I question Yang's plank of "Human-centered Capitalism" when one of his main economic positions is to create automatic sunset clauses for all gov't regulations. That policy would be incredibly destructive, much "human-centered".

  6. At the very least call it "Social Democracy" so we can have an honest conversation about our economy. "Human-centered Capitalism" just sounds like a way to keep things as is, while also appeasing the sheep.

  7.  @hargibson18  It's a point I've only really ever heard Kyle make, but I can't even imagine what that would look like. Not only would it eventually strip all remaining financial restrictions on Wall Street, but it would destroy any environmental protections that protect clean water, clean air, think of dozens of Flint, Michigans all across the US just because environmental protections run out - you would be doing the work of Fossil Fuel Lobbyists for them & all they'd have to do is make sure to pressure or bribe politicians to just do nothing in response (something politicians are incredibly good at). Not to mention it could have other implications for ludicrous interest rates with money lenders, price gouging from telecommunication companies, an end to Net Neutrality and privatization of the internet and who knows what else.
