Stop the hero worship. We have to govern ourselves, not leave everything up to "smart" guys like these 2 idiots. They are aspousing the dumbest idea in history: letting business people run our government to enrich themselves. Think for yourself. Don't let these aristocrats think for you!

When Andrew Yang was running for president back in 2019/ 2020 the world was a much different place. AI wasnt in the mainstream as it is now. Now in 2023, AI is changing the world and will continue to change life for everyone. We would have had UBI right now if Andrew Yang became president. We NEED UBI now going forward, there is no stoping AI.
I saw this after COVID, but as companies paid people more to go to work landlords increased the rent. How do you prevent that from happening on a UBI? Cuz it seems like whenever the populace has more money, the banks, the landlords and the companies do everything they can to take more
Can you give more context? I could see this happening in highly localized areas, but not nationwide or even statewide. When a landlord raises the rent they increase the risk of the tenant moving to another place (cheaper or not).
@@Raphael11001 everybody likes to play economy and say things like that, but that's just not the case, Since 2000, the rent index has increased 73 percent compared to only 46 percent for overall inflation. Housing can and will be the first thing to skyrocket out of control
@@blackmartini7684 I'm not questioning that housing prices are too high, or that they are higher than the overall inflation. But we need to look at the different causes to understand the full picture. Just looking at rent for example, if the gov reduces interest rates then the mortgage from buying a house can become cheaper than your current rent. But also the argument that higher wages get eaten up by landlords doesn't track. We just don't see that effect in the real world, unless the offer is constricted (highly dense areas, like NYC, SF, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong). One of the reasons for this is foreign investors buying real estate as security. This pushes the price up way beyond what locals can afford. During the lockdowns, housing inflation was pretty low, below food/groceries. It started to rise in late 21 and peaked in 22. It has been falling for several months now. Specifically on UBI, the data I've seen from the longest trials show no abnormal increase rise in housing inflation, or in inflation at all. In the Alaska example inflation actually decreased in the beginning, but then it stabilized. And while Americans were receiving their covid relief and enhanced unemployment benefits, housing inflation was one of the lowest in decades. It only increased after those benefits had ran out.
@@Raphael11001 Yeah... but now everyone is flush with cash so who cares? If the dummy leaves he's going to have to pay more somewhere else, because everybody is raising prices. Its not a conspiracy. It's how markets work lol!
I still think an Andrew Yang and Elon Musk interview would be one of the most interesting conversations ever. Both of them are SCARY smart. Would be the greatest knowledge drop in history.
We have a representative government instead of a direct democracy to prevent mob rule. Also, so that people in different areas that may have a completely different way of living get representation. You get these people living in the cities that have a completely different mindset from the people living in the country. I completely agree with you, Peter. Politicians do not solve our problems and frankly we don’t need them to. We can do this on our own. I know this has been your focus. I have been reading your books for many many years. I agree we should get rid of the party primaries. I would personally rather do away with the parties altogether ha ha. We also need to drain the money out of politics. Everybody should have the same opportunity to speak and be seen in the political process. No more super PACs .
I've been following Yang since he ran in 2020, I don't think he'll ever make any progress in politics because he makes too much sense. People are only tuned into the BS.
I've been following him since the dems cut him off their debate stage .... got his swag and all :) LOL THIS is why the 2 party system is only working for itself - this guy could have been a great leader .... but the media and dem leaders shut him out
First time? How did you miss him during the presidential running in 2019? Man if he actually became president instead of Biden we would have had UBI right now. It would have made Covid19 and the current AI progress so much more manageable.
This is one of the best "Peter H. Diamandis" UA-cam interviews I have ever seen! Let's all hope, pray and do what it takes to the bring about the new infrastructure that the Forward Party is talking about to replace the corrupt political system with one that is simplified, modernized for the 21st century and designed to require politician's motivations based on popular, truly non-partisan, agendas.
As a retired emergency medical technician, from metropolitan City. I believe that it should be a prerequisites to work as an emergency medical technician for at least one year, and then be evaluated. Before you can have a high position governmental or civilian, social services job. Examples would be: POTUS, Senator, congressman, judge, lawyer, policeman, home care workers. Now after a year they should be evaluated in regards for their ability to help other people, without reward🙏
Yang doesn't have a vision. He is a libertarian. Letting business people run our government is submitting to aristocracy and is counter revolutionary. Either you believe that we the people can govern ourselves or you don't. Stop the "great man" theory of history. Hero worship will just disappoint us as it always has for thousands of years.
His vision is not new, it's the same redistributionism that has been tried repeatedly. Everyone gets excited for free stuff, then stuff runs out, then comes authoritarian repression, and then the famine and genocide. It's been done so often its just trite.
Poverty is extremely expensive and degrading. With a feeling of stability and all basic needs met this country would transform into a better version of itself. Hopelessness fuels so many problems and we're seeing the manifestation of this now in the current system. Punishing, shaming, and over controlling people doesn't improve conditions either. Great episode and great ideas! Thanks!
You don't just understand but overstand👏🏿👏🏿...homelessness is seemingly increasing everywhere just as the endless flow of immigrants flocking into the west, its just unsustainable
do you realize that a lot of the poverty we see or have seen in the world today is in Africa and other places where the people have an incredibly high rate of promiscuity and low IQ? It's hindsight now, but what we should have done with africa is to let it be and ignore it. People who can't figure out how to farm or how to build housing and make their own clothes need to become extinct.
@@doreeneclose6295it is better than the systems we currently have. “To move forward, one must take steps. Running will increase your risk of falling”. -Nobody😂
I foresee mass poverty and debt slavery spreading wider , likely followed by another lab made released virus to kill us off and a world war to kill us off further until they develop AI capabilities further in the areas of mind control. . Once they have mind control down and thin out our numbers. Our great world leaders will have finally conquered humanity and all life on earth , without a risk of revolution or rebellion , or a need to pretend they care for human rights or fulfilling lifestyles with dignity for the slave class. What the super rich with power over governance and bankers have work towards for thousands of years will finally occur. A grip on total power without fear of losing heads or losing any positioning of being on top.

Absolutely fabulous talk, sending you both the force, the energy, humor, luck, clarity, and the common sense, that oozed from your dialogue......to continue. Not American, but this shows, that the strength and believe, is still within the American soul. A bit of dusting yourself off, detox, or simply stepping up to take a rightful local space/place, to node America beyond online, beyond AI controls. Shine gentlemen, shine some sense into it all. I salute you both, best regards, Phoeagdor.
I will say - there are lots of excellent people who lost self autonomy since 2020. Doing work beneath their station, just to make ends meat. Admin, throughout the world, took over. They live on the back of creatives. I hope UBI and AI give back the power to the creative souls, in all walks of life and not be, a 2.0 version of admin overlording. The populous need to see the goal is human being, not human admin'ing. Shine forth gentlemen, shine some sense into it all.
@@Phoeagdori see that you speak very intelligently . Are you AI by any chance? As I see so many accounts without a face in comment sections nowadays and it makes me wonder if AI is all over the comment sections as well. I lean towards right wing politics but I'm not AI or all knowing as I believe there are blindspots on all sides of politics but freedom of speech, borders, guns abolish censorship all make sense to me .other than that I'm not to adept at seeing the whole picture so enlighten me Mr bot 🤖

I love that you involved Andrew in the conversation here, Peter. Really, really great stuff! I would love to hear more from him as we get closer to the election and things continue to change with AI
I was in the first wave of modern displacement by AI/automation. I spent twenty-five years working in television production and news, behind the cameras. Putting on a newscast needed 6-10 people. Now it can be done by one. I personally had additional impacts afterward that caused me to leave the workforce entirely and now depend on public assistance to keep myself off the street. Everything is more complicated than it needs to be and I live in constant fear that a mistake will put me in a shelter. That from a guy who had a decent career.
I have been saying for years we should ignore party generalizations and focus on utilitarian objectives and evidence-based solutions. This goes a long way in that direction. To take it a step further, popularly selected candidates should debate by proposing problems, scientific evidence for solutions and, based on that, their recommended solutions.

It's unfortunate that your wage is so low that you need these tips for a basic standard of living, while the corporate top have more than they could spend in many lives.
@HagiaFantasia The market only pays the value of the service, what your worth is not the factor, what the worth of the service you provide is the factor. Your worth you have to decide to do a job that pays what meets your worth.
Hmm government freebies never go so well and the amount will not be enough to have a place to live,electricity,water,food,internet etc. It'll be enough for food,clothes and you'll have free insurance which is better thn nothing,but it will not be a utopia where no one works and everyone is secure.

Recap by Tammy AI
As always Peter, time with you on your shows is so worthwhile. I so appreciate the context/mind set you come from addressing topics of such great importance in the world and love seeing Yang on here. Very informative and I didn't know all of his involvements so I am very happy to learn of his "forward" movement. Why not share this method of voting person to person and let it happen naturally with us all posting it on twitter etc.... Even though it hasn't been accepted yet, it would work perfectly well to share the process and prove the conventional methods for the sham they are. I would do it asap!
YES! I am a definite supporter of getting rid of the two party system we’ve had and I’m already an Registered independent and have been for a long time! Our country needs major reforms of the political system. I’m totally behind what Andrew is doing!
I was very negative about USA politics and the warmongering neocons, etc, Now my hope is restoring, listening to you and guest, hearing there's hope, it means a lot, I hold more than thumbs for change to happen, for better, for uplifting humanity, to see USA great and proud again, to know that your people can fix the mess, May God Bless you on this journey of making America great again.
The best things we can hope for as humans is full on automation of most jobs and UBI being inacted. Why work when we dont have to? People should focus on hobbies, families, community, travel, religion or knowledge if they wish.
1:09:28 Yang: “We’ve been operating under this resource constraint mindset and institutional setup, and everything else where it’s zero sum. And we’re about to hit a point where a lot of these goods will have essentially zero marginal cost. And then what do you do in an era of abundance? What does that become? We’re not set up for it. And in many ways I feel like the challenge is trying to prepare us for abundance in a time when scarcity actually, unfortunately is the lived experience of many of our fellow Americans and humans.” Indeed. What's the quote? "The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed." It doesn't even need to be evenly distributed. Just way more evenly distributed.
@efortune357 Much of the scarcity is manufactured. Corporations throw and trash so many good items into the landfills as trash because they cannot pay to store them and cannot make a now today profit on them. They can just produce more cheaper than storing it. It's disgusting the amounts of waste produced just to toss in a landfill.
Waste should be against the law. If it cost them more to throw away from fines and penalties then and only then will they would find a way not to waste so much.
The system definitely needs to be overhauled and it’s time to get not just the money out of the political system but the do nothing politicians who serve not their constituents who voted for them but the corrupt people who keep them in office that put corporations above the people resources and the planet 🌎
There's an elderly (age 80) gentleman I personally know; he is a Vietnam veteran, and a generally stand up guy. He had a run of bad luck marriages which cost him everything he worked for, and now, an accident left him literally unemployable, should he be forced to supplement his Social Security checks. He is about to lose his home. You can see where I'm going with this: This man is not alone. There are many similar stories, and that's where this brilliant man, Andrew Yang, comes in. UBI...Prevents tragedies like this.
I have never really listened to Andrew Yang before. I really like what he’s saying about politics. It’s things I’ve been thinking of for years. Common sense voting. I’ve become completely disinterested in politics because of how it is. Glad someone is really trying to change it. Turn out political system into a real democracy 😁🤙🏼
I worked as a private assistant to Dr. William P. Murphy, Jr., for 10 years. US F.I.R.S.T. was the brainchild of he and Dean Kamen as an avenue to inspire a new generation of engineers in the United States. It was really quite remarkable what they created. Dr. Murphy wanted to keep it strictly in the United States but Dean was the catalyst that opened it up to the rest of the globe.
As if the people at the top will ever allow anything to happen like UBI that would actually help the majority of people. They want a world divided, in fear and struggling because that's what is ultimately what gets them more profit while we get less.
I am a Filipino, and I like this man, Andrew Yang - Money Is For Everyone. All earthly goods are for all men in this modern world of the age of plenty, particularly in this age of global technologically-based digitalization among other modern developments, without exception. Hence, all men without exception, have the inherent basic inalienable rights in strict social and economic justice to share through constitutional mandates of either national, regional or global governance from the abundance of earthly goods at least the non-conditional and non-discriminatory basic income provision through unearned modes of a monetary amount in cash, check, or by credit card or electronic means of transfer, or digital money that will be sufficient to universally accepted standard of living survival as equally global-human-persons as citizens of the earth in a new well-secured better world.
This was a great discussion, Peter. I didn’t know you had a YT channel until I was recommended to you after watching Mo Gawdat on another channel. I’m looking forward to adding your pod cast to my lineup of Steven Bartlett, Lex Fridman and others.
Thank you!!! I live in a very small weird pocket of the world. It is not Abundance 360, nor is that mindset supported. In theory what you gentleman speak of is valid. However, you do not have your feet in the fields of the non Abundance 360 mindset or parameters. Understanding the starting point is key to knowing. How is one to sit next to you, have those refreshing discussions you have here on your podcast? An average member of society, who is not and has not been represented or empowered, how do they attend an event that starts at 10k, or arrive on your podcast, when "as is" they are obscure; when it is their voice that may hold answers or keys. Society has been created and orchestrated to look exactly as it does; it serves a purpose. If you know, you know.
Andrew is genius! I would love to see him work alongside Vivek, another genius. Together, they could move mountains in their brilliance for the betterment of humanity in our nation. And guess what? Their brilliant ideas and works ripples. Lo and behold, we create a wonderful world.
I am totally behind Andrew’s vision. And I hope some billionaire out there will help him transform our badly broken two party system, that serves no one other than those who own it, whom we all know are these behemoth corporations.
We would appreciate it deeply if anyone could pray for us our 12 year old daughter Candice living with Chronic congestive heart failure passed away may 30 2022 peacefully in her sleep we are all devastated we desperately need your prayers for peace and comfort with God's love conquers all amen we lost our first daughter Angel at 15 years old in 2018 she had Ms this is very tough we are grateful to God for two wonderful daughters and we will be altogether again praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
neither address the only unpopular and most important topic: race and crime statistics. how long are we going to be victims of a people who only make up 13% of the population. exactly how long can we dance around this issue? the lack of any politician to tackle this topic only leads us to one conclusion: they are intentionally stoking the flames of a race war by not getting a hold of it while they have the resources. all other issues take a back seat to the safety of a country's citizens.
Thought-provoking conversation - thank you - though the candidate names you threw out seemed pretty biased : ) Consider this - two of the most important jobs in this world or at least in the USA - President and Congress - have no job requirements other than age and place of birth. I would ask all of us to consider not just someone’s personal biases but actually what specific expertise and experience and wisdom are apropos for these jobs to be handled effectively with grace and mastery that considers all people. Then we might be able to authentically call ourselves “non political.” I say these things with the greatest respect and appreciation for both of you, Peter and Andrew. Let’s keep the thinking going. Thx again.
We would be better off with putting purely random people in office. The problem is corruption and the fact that people who seek positions of power are generally psychopaths.
A.I. revolutions is no diff than the times of the early industrial revolution. Change with take effect. We will adapt, grow and learn what works and what doesn't. The real reason some billionaires are scared is because A.I. will not care how rich or poor we are. The change will affect everyone to one degree or another regardless. You create the reality and it adapts to your POV. A dream you dream together is reality. It's up to us to make change for the better. A.I. has the potential to level the playing field and make democracy take a strong foothold everywhere.
The American political system is extremely proactive. The agenda is to enforce neo colonialism globally for US corporate gain through military presence and economic manipulation.
I am intrigued by the use of UBI to mitigate the negative effects of AI on the workforce. I believe that it could also lead to reduced poverty and crime. However, I think it could be even more effective for society if merged with a universal sales tax that would need to replace all of our current taxes on income and payroll (including FICA and Medicare). We should stop assessing taxes on individuals productivity (work) and assess taxes on our consumption instead. This would incentivize work, improve individual money management, reduce waste (if used products are not taxed) and lead to increased investment into self improvement (if educational services are not taxed). The other byproducts of a universal consumption tax would be reduced costs for tax code compliance, simplified collection of revenue for the government, reduced lobbyist influence on politicians, and larger paychecks (since there would be no taxes removed up front).
LLMs bring future clarity on which vocations will have the least AI augmentation. how ironic it’s the publishers, programmers & knowledge based physicians jobs in the cross-hairs as AI continues to lower the barrier for machines to program machines… good time to be a plumber
I definitely need UBI haha I'm not motivated to do shit for this world anymore. I feel like I've been reamed. I don't want to participate in the game, I want to chase my dreams, even if it leads me to being broke and homeless. I will leave this planet knowing I gave my all.
A lot of the content and strategy he recommends has been in the Green Party platforms for decades, in various forms, with little success beyond getting on the ballot in numerous states, but never getting enough backing to overcome the DemRep duopoly. Maybe with Yang's energy and experience, it will have more success.
There was success in Alaska and Nevada. If it happened in those two States, it’s definitely doable. And I believe it will happen if someone comes up with the capital to do it. As with everything, it comes down to money.
Great talk, I was discussing it with my friends, and this Living as a service is scary but on the surface it sounds great. My friends and I thought about it and we all become the humans that live in these boxes with services to keep us alive. Our IQs will go down because there are no incentives to learn, schools will close down because AI knows everything. We start to relying on AI more and more. UBI pays for the services, corporations are greedy so they will cheapen things to be more profitable like they do in private prisons. I think we start to lose the meaning of what is human. We will probably get addicted to VR and cheap thrills. Then we started to compare our lives in the future to the movie idiocracy. Please reply with a more uplifting outlook, I don't like thinking this negatively.
The incentive to learn comes from the human spirit. Anyone that isn't curious about their world doesn't really deserve to be alive in all honesty. Such a remarkable existence we have. We should all be filled with questions.
People still play chess even though ai is better at it. I don't think alot of people are content with watching movies all the time, it's like with consuming candy you can only eat so much of it then get sick of it and try something more fufilling. Some people might end up like the characters from idiocracy but it's unlikely that will be the majority of the populace.
@@jagneetoThis exactly. People would no longer have to live paycheck to paycheck just to survive and would now have the opportunity to pursue their passions. I can't tell you how many friends of mine have said that they'd like to become artists or musicians only to be forced to do a more "practical" and stable job.
Its qute an experience to be Brazilian and hear americans discuss UBI, benefits and etc..If it in an important issue for you guys, can you imagine how far the rabbit hole goes on our side? Dreaming of a better world for all..
As much as I love the idea that two issues that I see is using any type of electronic voting especially via Mobile opens up a slew of security issues and then if you have everybody voting for everybody wouldn't then the game become the party's counter vote against each other in order to knock each other's opponents out?
UBI would cause the prices of things to jump, without a doubt. I mean, we've already seen an example of this with the COVID stimulus packages and their resulting inflation. Though AI run and managed corporations will be the counter to that - causing competition to rise above what any human-run organization will be able to handle. And that's the start of abundance. UBI kicks of a new wave of inflation, and then AI corporations cause massive deflation. The two forces will compete until AI wins. While we think our ability to consume is limitless, it is not. We have to sleep and we can only buy so much in a day. Whereas AI can keep producing endlessly, even overcoming all scarcity issues. We're right on the edge of a massive transfer of control from humans to automated systems. In fact, this process has been happening for a while, it's just now kicking in to high gear. UBI is one path to addressing the short-term issues of this process. But in the long run, the more we can pay out with UBI the more our economies will grow.
more housing needs to be created so that these landlords will have a hard time finding people who are willing to pay outrageous prices. this will either cause them to sell or cause them to bring down their prices. foreign air b and b ownership needs to be totally eliminated, domestic air b and owners need to be reduced and only allowed to a certain small number of special homes, in special locations. we need to start 3d printing and keep building, until there are homes/ housing available to most
The government will conveniently force price control onto landlords to the point that they can no longer afford to keep their properties. At that point the government or large real estate corps that have lobbied (bribed) the government, will buy out those properties in mass.
If we do UBI I hope it's SIMPLE. Give every $50k/yr regardless if they are Elon Musk or a crackhead. Don't make it like our tax system that you need to hire someone to figure out.
Americans should vote for Andrew Yang on his vision on UBI. AI is expanding at a rapid pace, lots of people will not be able to get trained or will not have the abilities to pick up, hence will lose jobs. Thus having a UBI system will help people with mental health from the insecurity of not being able to afford basic living.
Why aren't we jumping on this very concrete plan that Andrew laid out? $200 million would fix our democracy. If about 67% of Americans chipped in $1, we'd have it! If people gave $2, we'd only need 33% of the population to chip in and Andrew said 49% of Americans are independent, so that should be super easy to do. I'm going to look into starting a GoFundMe campaign to make this happen. Are you willing to toss in 2 bucks to fix our democracy?
UBI is the best and most important change, that could take place already NOW. There are ways to fund it. For example if you take a minimal tax on every transaction. You get your money from the bank. You take 100 € and you pay 10 cents tax. This would be quite enough to fund everything. You could also put a microtax on every stock transaction. It is absolutely possible. If someone wants to make a safe transition to AI and to be able to concentrate on a safe AI peace in society is crucial. If you don´t pay people you will have uproar and chaos also influencing the AI development process in the west negatively. This could basically kill humanity. So better let people have a UBI and make peace and let us make safe AI on this basis.
@@psychicspy Yes, yes. Of course it is "wrong". That is BS, though. You get taxed to support others always all the time. THERE IS NO WAY FOR AN ABSOLUTELY JUST TAX. You pay for guys driving a hummer and accelerating in front of a traffic light tearing up the roads, even if you only use busses. You pay for people trashing the streets, if you never go out. You pay for people crashing with motorcycles even if you never drive. You pay for people having accidents from skydiving even if you are absolutely fearful of heights. Etc. etc. And it is fine. Because it serves a much greater good for the whole society. YES you CAN tax stock transactions by 0,01 percent or sth. to put a UBI into place. Because it is a miniscule amount of effort for an insanely greater good for all. We live in a SOCIETY. Which means that you can NOT avoid interaction no matter what. So we must accept this and make this interaction a proper one. And there is hardly anything better, than putting some tax into place which those people who trade on stock exchange won´t ever notice at all even one bit. And to use this for an extremely great good for all. This is also what laws do. They are not perfect, too. Sometimes people will go into jail who do not deserve it. THIS IS REDISTRIBUTION AT THE BARREL OF A GUN right? Redistribution of freedom and jailtime. Strooooong words. But far away from reality. Fact is, that imperfect systems like the law are being accepted because they are very, very good and useful while doing some things wrong sometimes. For a greater good for all. It always made sense to use such systems and it makes sense today. So there is no problem with such redistribution by a tax of around 0,01% or similar. It is not perfect, but great. That´s it. To talk about redistribution at the barrel of a gun is just the typical american anti marxist, anti socialist cold- war- bullshit propaganda paired with cluelessness about systems of societal organisation, like capitalism, feudalism, dictatorship or socialism. Redistribution is not always bad at all. And it takes place in proper ways already. Has been like that for a long time. Also in times of much more prosperity in the west. Prosperity can only take place while having some redistribution. Otherwise you wouldn´t even be able to even move through town, because everyone would own the land in front of his house and forbid you to move there or would demand from you to pay for doing so. Redistribution, which means that ALL people are allowed to use this space means freedom in this case. And not some shitty idiotic barrel of a gun. In the same way UBI gives people a ton of freedom from being constipated with the struggle for survival by doing shitty jobs or even worse, like crime prostitution etc. It gives them freedom to do those jobs to have MORE but not to have a little. Which gives those jobs an absolutely different image. A better one. Lifting the dignity of people up. I absolutely agree with Peter on that. Freedom from humiliation is worth much more than 0,1% on stock transactions. Get real.
@Solidfreeman01 Stop paying your taxes, and you will see how real that gun barrel is. Dignity? You can't give someone dignity. I don't care how small a percentage of anything it might cost to provide UBI, any benifit is immediately zeroed out by having obtained the funds through force. The only redistribution that works is voluntary redistribution in the form of charities and gifts. Government redistribution is always by force. There will always be poor people. Giving people who can't manage the money they have more money will not make them any better off. It will enrich their landlords when the rent goes up, and their corner store owner when the price of groceries goes up. A favorite trope is that people would get degrees if they had UBI. Take a look at the average poor persons UA-cam history, and I'm certain you won't find a long list of videos related to the degree they would pursue if only UBI were given to them. People who don't use every means possible to improve their situation will not magically do so if given UBI. Go ahead. Vote for a UBI. I will invest the money in real estate and raise my rent to take advantage of all the extra cash people would have. You will accomplish nothing. Poverty is a state of mind.
@Solidfreeman01 The closest thing to a just tax is a flat tax on consumption. I can control my consumption. I can easily become a minimalist. Try funding your UBI when people decide to start bartering. Do you know how I know that man-made climate change is a joke? If it were real, they would already have placed large taxes on the consumption of luxury items and fuel. Giving everyone UBI would increase consumption, putting more carbon into the atmosphere. Climate disaster is all a big lie.
@@psychicspy hahahahaa, yes you try living in poverty, actually poverty $0 in assets $0, in income for 20 years. see how much dignity you have when a drunk coming out of the dance club pisses on your card board box bed for 100th time. how much dignity are you going to have when the cops jump you for raising your voice to the rich club going kid? you know nothing.

@@athelstanrex The road less travelled is usually the hardest but it's usually the way back home ... so to speak 🥰.
Stop the hero worship. We have to govern ourselves, not leave everything up to "smart" guys like these 2 idiots. They are aspousing the dumbest idea in history: letting business people run our government to enrich themselves. Think for yourself. Don't let these aristocrats think for you!

When Andrew Yang was running for president back in 2019/ 2020 the world was a much different place. AI wasnt in the mainstream as it is now. Now in 2023, AI is changing the world and will continue to change life for everyone. We would have had UBI right now if Andrew Yang became president. We NEED UBI now going forward, there is no stoping AI.
Great conversation. Yang's vision of the 2028 Independent Primary got me excited about politics again. Let's make THAT happen.
Delusional.
USA needs Andrew Yang, Vivek, Tucker and elk come together and activate the road to a New America.

@@jonathanedwardgibson🎯
I saw this after COVID, but as companies paid people more to go to work landlords increased the rent. How do you prevent that from happening on a UBI? Cuz it seems like whenever the populace has more money, the banks, the landlords and the companies do everything they can to take more
UBI is a scam. . . don't fall for it, period.
Can you give more context? I could see this happening in highly localized areas, but not nationwide or even statewide. When a landlord raises the rent they increase the risk of the tenant moving to another place (cheaper or not).
@@Raphael11001 everybody likes to play economy and say things like that, but that's just not the case, Since 2000, the rent index has increased 73 percent compared to only 46 percent for overall inflation. Housing can and will be the first thing to skyrocket out of control
@@blackmartini7684 I'm not questioning that housing prices are too high, or that they are higher than the overall inflation. But we need to look at the different causes to understand the full picture. Just looking at rent for example, if the gov reduces interest rates then the mortgage from buying a house can become cheaper than your current rent.
But also the argument that higher wages get eaten up by landlords doesn't track. We just don't see that effect in the real world, unless the offer is constricted (highly dense areas, like NYC, SF, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong). One of the reasons for this is foreign investors buying real estate as security. This pushes the price up way beyond what locals can afford.
During the lockdowns, housing inflation was pretty low, below food/groceries. It started to rise in late 21 and peaked in 22. It has been falling for several months now.
Specifically on UBI, the data I've seen from the longest trials show no abnormal increase rise in housing inflation, or in inflation at all. In the Alaska example inflation actually decreased in the beginning, but then it stabilized.
And while Americans were receiving their covid relief and enhanced unemployment benefits, housing inflation was one of the lowest in decades. It only increased after those benefits had ran out.
@@Raphael11001 Yeah... but now everyone is flush with cash so who cares? If the dummy leaves he's going to have to pay more somewhere else, because everybody is raising prices. Its not a conspiracy. It's how markets work lol!
I still think an Andrew Yang and Elon Musk interview would be one of the most interesting conversations ever. Both of them are SCARY smart. Would be the greatest knowledge drop in history.
Elon Musk is a bit of a moron, imo. And a bit of a charlatan.
Elon Musk… bro he is not smart just an idiot with high charisma.
@@naniyotakahmmm looking at his track record basically everything he touches turns to gold so I’ll have to disagree with that comment
Andrew Yang for President 2024 !!!
I hope Andrew Yang never goes away and just gets better with age.
We have a representative government instead of a direct democracy to prevent mob rule. Also, so that people in different areas that may have a completely different way of living get representation. You get these people living in the cities that have a completely different mindset from the people living in the country.
I completely agree with you, Peter. Politicians do not solve our problems and frankly we don’t need them to. We can do this on our own. I know this has been your focus. I have been reading your books for many many years.
I agree we should get rid of the party primaries. I would personally rather do away with the parties altogether ha ha. We also need to drain the money out of politics. Everybody should have the same opportunity to speak and be seen in the political process. No more super PACs .
Yes, John Adams' nightmare 2 giant "parties" running everything. We solved that with the Uni-party! 😊
only when politics gets out of money and power brokering will we get the money out of politics
This is the first time I've listened to Yang. I am impressed with his logic and hopeful outlook.
I've been following Yang since he ran in 2020, I don't think he'll ever make any progress in politics because he makes too much sense. People are only tuned into the BS.
I've been following him since the dems cut him off their debate stage .... got his swag and all :) LOL THIS is why the 2 party system is only working for itself - this guy could have been a great leader .... but the media and dem leaders shut him out
First time? How did you miss him during the presidential running in 2019? Man if he actually became president instead of Biden we would have had UBI right now. It would have made Covid19 and the current AI progress so much more manageable.
This is one of the best "Peter H. Diamandis" UA-cam interviews I have ever seen!
Let's all hope, pray and do what it takes to the bring about the new infrastructure that the Forward Party is talking about to replace the corrupt political system with one that is simplified, modernized for the 21st century and designed to require politician's motivations based on popular, truly non-partisan, agendas.
As a retired emergency medical technician, from metropolitan City. I believe that it should be a prerequisites to work as an emergency medical technician for at least one year, and then be evaluated. Before you can have a high position governmental or civilian, social services job.
Examples would be: POTUS, Senator, congressman, judge, lawyer, policeman, home care workers.
Now after a year they should be evaluated in regards for their ability to help other people, without reward🙏
Love it. Yang has a vision that can literally save America. Good luck and make America great again (This time with a roadmap to actually achieve it!)
Yang doesn't have a vision. He is a libertarian. Letting business people run our government is submitting to aristocracy and is counter revolutionary. Either you believe that we the people can govern ourselves or you don't. Stop the "great man" theory of history. Hero worship will just disappoint us as it always has for thousands of years.
AGI Will be man's last invention
His vision is not new, it's the same redistributionism that has been tried repeatedly. Everyone gets excited for free stuff, then stuff runs out, then comes authoritarian repression, and then the famine and genocide. It's been done so often its just trite.
@@DG-mk7kd Exactly. what will not work, bec, it is not free,

Agree. Right now, many of the politician are supported by tax payers, and pay us back with corruption. Wasted money.
Thank you, Skynet.
Let's do it ,u got my vote😊
Yes!!!!
Poverty is extremely expensive and degrading. With a feeling of stability and all basic needs met this country would transform into a better version of itself. Hopelessness fuels so many problems and we're seeing the manifestation of this now in the current system. Punishing, shaming, and over controlling people doesn't improve conditions either.
Great episode and great ideas! Thanks!
You don't just understand but overstand👏🏿👏🏿...homelessness is seemingly increasing everywhere just as the endless flow of immigrants flocking into the west, its just unsustainable
If one lives where I do, that's about 100k per household. That covers just the basics. This 1k per month is a joke, even for the homeless.
do you realize that a lot of the poverty we see or have seen in the world today is in Africa and other places where the people have an incredibly high rate of promiscuity and low IQ?
It's hindsight now, but what we should have done with africa is to let it be and ignore it. People who can't figure out how to farm or how to build housing and make their own clothes need to become extinct.

How about police officers and the military, or dont they count as government?

I will say - there are lots of excellent people who lost self autonomy since 2020. Doing work beneath their station, just to make ends meat. Admin, throughout the world, took over. They live on the back of creatives. I hope UBI and AI give back the power to the creative souls, in all walks of life and not be, a 2.0 version of admin overlording.

I was in the first wave of modern displacement by AI/automation. I spent twenty-five years working in television production and news, behind the cameras. Putting on a newscast needed 6-10 people. Now it can be done by one.
I personally had additional impacts afterward that caused me to leave the workforce entirely and now depend on public assistance to keep myself off the street.
Everything is more complicated than it needs to be and I live in constant fear that a mistake will put me in a shelter. That from a guy who had a decent career.
I have been saying for years we should ignore party generalizations and focus on utilitarian objectives and evidence-based solutions. This goes a long way in that direction. To take it a step further, popularly selected candidates should debate by proposing problems, scientific evidence for solutions and, based on that, their recommended solutions.

As always Peter, time with you on your shows is so worthwhile. I so appreciate the context/mind set you come from addressing topics of such great importance in the world and love seeing Yang on here. Very informative and I didn't know all of his involvements so I am very happy to learn of his "forward" movement. Why not share this method of voting person to person and let it happen naturally with us all posting it on twitter etc.... Even though it hasn't been accepted yet, it would work perfectly well to share the process and prove the conventional methods for the sham they are. I would do it asap!
Yang is like a political scientist superhero. Rank choice voting is amazing. I had no idea it was making such an impact.
yang is the best. a true pioneer.
Love Andrew Yang!
This just so wonderful Peter and Andrew, thank you on behalf of us ALL
YES! I am a definite supporter of getting rid of the two party system we’ve had and I’m already an Registered independent and have been for a long time! Our country needs major reforms of the political system. I’m totally behind what Andrew is doing!
A vital independent movement is necessary to repair the system. It has to work on the local and state levels too.
I was very negative about USA politics and the warmongering neocons, etc, Now my hope is restoring, listening to you and guest, hearing there's hope, it means a lot, I hold more than thumbs for change to happen, for better, for uplifting humanity, to see USA great and proud again, to know that your people can fix the mess, May God Bless you on this journey of making America great again.

He would right the ship.

Good News: Peter Diamandis is Yang Gang!
The best things we can hope for as humans is full on automation of most jobs and UBI being inacted. Why work when we dont have to? People should focus on hobbies, families, community, travel, religion or knowledge if they wish.
Andrew was literally the smartest presidential candidate 👏
1:09:28 Yang: “We’ve been operating under this resource constraint mindset and institutional setup, and everything else where it’s zero sum. And we’re about to hit a point where a lot of these goods will have essentially zero marginal cost. And then what do you do in an era of abundance? What does that become? We’re not set up for it. And in many ways I feel like the challenge is trying to prepare us for abundance in a time when scarcity actually, unfortunately is the lived experience of many of our fellow Americans and humans.”
Indeed. What's the quote? "The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed." It doesn't even need to be evenly distributed. Just way more evenly distributed.
@efortune357
Much of the scarcity is manufactured. Corporations throw and trash so many good items into the landfills as trash because they cannot pay to store them and cannot make a now today profit on them. They can just produce more cheaper than storing it. It's disgusting the amounts of waste produced just to toss in a landfill.
Waste should be against the law. If it cost them more to throw away from fines and penalties then and only then will they would find a way not to waste so much.
OMG .. The ideas and vision brought me to tears!
Love the conversation it opens the mind
I see the books on the sofa. Hint. This is the best interview maybe ever.
Thank you, Andrew, for the clarity and honesty.
The system definitely needs to be overhauled and it’s time to get not just the money out of the political system but the do nothing politicians who serve not their constituents who voted for them but the corrupt people who keep them in office that put corporations above the people resources and the planet 🌎
Keep preaching the choir bud. aint' gonna happen.
There's an elderly (age 80) gentleman I personally know; he is a Vietnam veteran, and a generally stand up guy. He had a run of bad luck marriages which cost him everything he worked for, and now, an accident left him literally unemployable, should he be forced to supplement his Social Security checks. He is about to lose his home. You can see where I'm going with this: This man is not alone. There are many similar stories, and that's where this brilliant man, Andrew Yang, comes in. UBI...Prevents tragedies like this.
Go Andrew, I don't have money but you have my heart. Very proud of your impact, go go go
Awesome conversation! Love you both.
I have never really listened to Andrew Yang before. I really like what he’s saying about politics. It’s things I’ve been thinking of for years. Common sense voting. I’ve become completely disinterested in politics because of how it is. Glad someone is really trying to change it. Turn out political system into a real democracy 😁🤙🏼
Nice video shot, thanks for sharing it with us, well done :)
I worked as a private assistant to Dr. William P. Murphy, Jr., for 10 years. US F.I.R.S.T. was the brainchild of he and Dean Kamen as an avenue to inspire a new generation of engineers in the United States. It was really quite remarkable what they created. Dr. Murphy wanted to keep it strictly in the United States but Dean was the catalyst that opened it up to the rest of the globe.
As if the people at the top will ever allow anything to happen like UBI that would actually help the majority of people. They want a world divided, in fear and struggling because that's what is ultimately what gets them more profit while we get less.
If it's hopeless, why bother posting?
rich people dont act as a group
Andrew Yang is a gift to this country. ❤❤
Thanks for your effort sir. These podcasts help us learn and understand the current world better.
I am a Filipino, and I like this man, Andrew Yang - Money Is For Everyone. All earthly goods are for all men in this modern world of the age of plenty, particularly in this age of global technologically-based digitalization among other modern developments, without exception. Hence, all men without exception, have the inherent basic inalienable rights in strict social and economic justice to share through constitutional mandates of either national, regional or global governance from the abundance of earthly goods at least the non-conditional and non-discriminatory basic income provision through unearned modes of a monetary amount in cash, check, or by credit card or electronic means of transfer, or digital money that will be sufficient to universally accepted standard of living survival as equally global-human-persons as citizens of the earth in a new well-secured better world.
This was a great discussion, Peter. I didn’t know you had a YT channel until I was recommended to you after watching Mo Gawdat on another channel. I’m looking forward to adding your pod cast to my lineup of Steven Bartlett, Lex Fridman and others.
You are right it is hard to help our neighbors because we are in survival mode.
Dang Yang that was good!!
Bought your book Andrew and recommended it to my relatives along with this interview video about the Forward party.
Thank you!!! I live in a very small weird pocket of the world. It is not Abundance 360, nor is that mindset supported. In theory what you gentleman speak of is valid. However, you do not have your feet in the fields of the non Abundance 360 mindset or parameters. Understanding the starting point is key to knowing. How is one to sit next to you, have those refreshing discussions you have here on your podcast? An average member of society, who is not and has not been represented or empowered, how do they attend an event that starts at 10k, or arrive on your podcast, when "as is" they are obscure; when it is their voice that may hold answers or keys. Society has been created and orchestrated to look exactly as it does; it serves a purpose. If you know, you know.
It's crystal clear to me that based on the last 3 or 4 administrations it doesn't matter who the president is anymore.
Great conversation.
Andrew is genius! I would love to see him work alongside Vivek, another genius. Together, they could move mountains in their brilliance for the betterment of humanity in our nation. And guess what? Their brilliant ideas and works ripples. Lo and behold, we create a wonderful world.
It's all a pipe dream, there is no free lunch in life
I am totally behind Andrew’s vision. And I hope some billionaire out there will help him transform our badly broken two party system, that serves no one other than those who own it, whom we all know are these behemoth corporations.

I love to hear 2 smart reasonable people talk about topics that aren’t popular but are existentially important. Thank you both.
neither address the only unpopular and most important topic: race and crime statistics.
how long are we going to be victims of a people who only make up 13% of the population. exactly how long can we dance around this issue? the lack of any politician to tackle this topic only leads us to one conclusion: they are intentionally stoking the flames of a race war by not getting a hold of it while they have the resources. all other issues take a back seat to the safety of a country's citizens.
Just shut up and take my money! Continue fighting the good fight Andrew!
Best podcast you can watch
Thank you Andrew!
Keep up the good fight.
I will donate to the forward party again.
Thought-provoking conversation - thank you - though the candidate names you threw out seemed pretty biased : ) Consider this - two of the most important jobs in this world or at least in the USA - President and Congress - have no job requirements other than age and place of birth. I would ask all of us to consider not just someone’s personal biases but actually what specific expertise and experience and wisdom are apropos for these jobs to be handled effectively with grace and mastery that considers all people. Then we might be able to authentically call ourselves “non political.” I say these things with the greatest respect and appreciation for both of you, Peter and Andrew. Let’s keep the thinking going. Thx again.
We would be better off with putting purely random people in office. The problem is corruption and the fact that people who seek positions of power are generally psychopaths.
Really enjoyed this interview, thank you!
A.I. revolutions is no diff than the times of the early industrial revolution. Change with take effect. We will adapt, grow and learn what works and what doesn't. The real reason some billionaires are scared is because A.I. will not care how rich or poor we are. The change will affect everyone to one degree or another regardless. You create the reality and it adapts to your POV. A dream you dream together is reality. It's up to us to make change for the better. A.I. has the potential to level the playing field and make democracy take a strong foothold everywhere.
UBI talk start at min: 45.
Thank you Peter. Very very good call to interview Andrew.
The American political system is extremely proactive. The agenda is to enforce neo colonialism globally for US corporate gain through military presence and economic manipulation.
I am intrigued by the use of UBI to mitigate the negative effects of AI on the workforce. I believe that it could also lead to reduced poverty and crime. However, I think it could be even more effective for society if merged with a universal sales tax that would need to replace all of our current taxes on income and payroll (including FICA and Medicare). We should stop assessing taxes on individuals productivity (work) and assess taxes on our consumption instead. This would incentivize work, improve individual money management, reduce waste (if used products are not taxed) and lead to increased investment into self improvement (if educational services are not taxed). The other byproducts of a universal consumption tax would be reduced costs for tax code compliance, simplified collection of revenue for the government, reduced lobbyist influence on politicians, and larger paychecks (since there would be no taxes removed up front).
LLMs bring future clarity on which vocations will have the least AI augmentation. how ironic it’s the publishers, programmers & knowledge based physicians jobs in the cross-hairs as AI continues to lower the barrier for machines to program machines… good time to be a plumber
Throughly enjoyable!
I definitely need UBI haha I'm not motivated to do shit for this world anymore. I feel like I've been reamed. I don't want to participate in the game, I want to chase my dreams, even if it leads me to being broke and homeless. I will leave this planet knowing I gave my all.
One of the few sensible guys in politics
A lot of the content and strategy he recommends has been in the Green Party platforms for decades, in various forms, with little success beyond getting on the ballot in numerous states, but never getting enough backing to overcome the DemRep duopoly. Maybe with Yang's energy and experience, it will have more success.
Is Green Party's top priority to fight for Nonpartisan Open Primaries and RCV?
There was success in Alaska and Nevada. If it happened in those two States, it’s definitely doable. And I believe it will happen if someone comes up with the capital to do it. As with everything, it comes down to money.
Andrew Yang has some great ideas. I wish ranked choice voting would become a reality.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Great talk, I was discussing it with my friends, and this Living as a service is scary but on the surface it sounds great. My friends and I thought about it and we all become the humans that live in these boxes with services to keep us alive. Our IQs will go down because there are no incentives to learn, schools will close down because AI knows everything. We start to relying on AI more and more. UBI pays for the services, corporations are greedy so they will cheapen things to be more profitable like they do in private prisons. I think we start to lose the meaning of what is human. We will probably get addicted to VR and cheap thrills. Then we started to compare our lives in the future to the movie idiocracy. Please reply with a more uplifting outlook, I don't like thinking this negatively.
The incentive to learn comes from the human spirit. Anyone that isn't curious about their world doesn't really deserve to be alive in all honesty. Such a remarkable existence we have. We should all be filled with questions.
People still play chess even though ai is better at it. I don't think alot of people are content with watching movies all the time, it's like with consuming candy you can only eat so much of it then get sick of it and try something more fufilling. Some people might end up like the characters from idiocracy but it's unlikely that will be the majority of the populace.
@@jagneetoThis exactly. People would no longer have to live paycheck to paycheck just to survive and would now have the opportunity to pursue their passions. I can't tell you how many friends of mine have said that they'd like to become artists or musicians only to be forced to do a more "practical" and stable job.
@@davidacosta9212 I think its really important that we separate out human VS AI content, so humans can appreciate other human content.
Its qute an experience to be Brazilian and hear americans discuss UBI, benefits and etc..If it in an important issue for you guys, can you imagine how far the rabbit hole goes on our side? Dreaming of a better world for all..
As much as I love the idea that two issues that I see is using any type of electronic voting especially via Mobile opens up a slew of security issues and then if you have everybody voting for everybody wouldn't then the game become the party's counter vote against each other in order to knock each other's opponents out?
Great work Peter. Andrew Y is a wonderful guy
What is the plan to prevent landlords from hiking rents by the UBI amount the moment it goes into effect?
This is no plan other than the plan to keep politicians rich. Andrew Yang is a politician. Working class will create his "abundance".
UBI would cause the prices of things to jump, without a doubt. I mean, we've already seen an example of this with the COVID stimulus packages and their resulting inflation.
Though AI run and managed corporations will be the counter to that - causing competition to rise above what any human-run organization will be able to handle. And that's the start of abundance. UBI kicks of a new wave of inflation, and then AI corporations cause massive deflation. The two forces will compete until AI wins. While we think our ability to consume is limitless, it is not. We have to sleep and we can only buy so much in a day. Whereas AI can keep producing endlessly, even overcoming all scarcity issues.
We're right on the edge of a massive transfer of control from humans to automated systems. In fact, this process has been happening for a while, it's just now kicking in to high gear. UBI is one path to addressing the short-term issues of this process. But in the long run, the more we can pay out with UBI the more our economies will grow.
more housing needs to be created so that these landlords will have a hard time finding people who are willing to pay outrageous prices. this will either cause them to sell or cause them to bring down their prices. foreign air b and b ownership needs to be totally eliminated, domestic air b and owners need to be reduced and only allowed to a certain small number of special homes, in special locations. we need to start 3d printing and keep building, until there are homes/ housing available to most
The government will conveniently force price control onto landlords to the point that they can no longer afford to keep their properties. At that point the government or large real estate corps that have lobbied (bribed) the government, will buy out those properties in mass.
people caught hording more wealth then they need.. while their are still people facing poverty? those are not people.
I like Andrew Yang's common Sense and Logic as it applies to Politics in my opinon thats exactly whats Missing.
That man deserves his revenge, and we are going to give it to him
Andrew Yang is awesome.
If we do UBI I hope it's SIMPLE. Give every $50k/yr regardless if they are Elon Musk or a crackhead. Don't make it like our tax system that you need to hire someone to figure out.
Agree
Americans should vote for Andrew Yang on his vision on UBI. AI is expanding at a rapid pace, lots of people will not be able to get trained or will not have the abilities to pick up, hence will lose jobs.
Thus having a UBI system will help people with mental health from the insecurity of not being able to afford basic living.
Why aren't we jumping on this very concrete plan that Andrew laid out? $200 million would fix our democracy. If about 67% of Americans chipped in $1, we'd have it! If people gave $2, we'd only need 33% of the population to chip in and Andrew said 49% of Americans are independent, so that should be super easy to do. I'm going to look into starting a GoFundMe campaign to make this happen. Are you willing to toss in 2 bucks to fix our democracy?
Give me more information
$2 for whooom 🐑🐑🐑🐑😭😭🤣🤣🤑
51% happy vs 49% not happy. Recipe for a stable society. LOL
UBI is the best and most important change, that could take place already NOW. There are ways to fund it. For example if you take a minimal tax on every transaction. You get your money from the bank. You take 100 € and you pay 10 cents tax. This would be quite enough to fund everything. You could also put a microtax on every stock transaction. It is absolutely possible. If someone wants to make a safe transition to AI and to be able to concentrate on a safe AI peace in society is crucial. If you don´t pay people you will have uproar and chaos also influencing the AI development process in the west negatively. This could basically kill humanity. So better let people have a UBI and make peace and let us make safe AI on this basis.
It is wrong to tax one person to support another. It is wealth redistribution at the barrel of a gun.
@@psychicspy Yes, yes. Of course it is "wrong". That is BS, though.
You get taxed to support others always all the time. THERE IS NO WAY FOR AN ABSOLUTELY JUST TAX. You pay for guys driving a hummer and accelerating in front of a traffic light tearing up the roads, even if you only use busses. You pay for people trashing the streets, if you never go out. You pay for people crashing with motorcycles even if you never drive. You pay for people having accidents from skydiving even if you are absolutely fearful of heights. Etc. etc. And it is fine. Because it serves a much greater good for the whole society.
YES you CAN tax stock transactions by 0,01 percent or sth. to put a UBI into place. Because it is a miniscule amount of effort for an insanely greater good for all. We live in a SOCIETY. Which means that you can NOT avoid interaction no matter what. So we must accept this and make this interaction a proper one. And there is hardly anything better, than putting some tax into place which those people who trade on stock exchange won´t ever notice at all even one bit. And to use this for an extremely great good for all.
This is also what laws do. They are not perfect, too. Sometimes people will go into jail who do not deserve it. THIS IS REDISTRIBUTION AT THE BARREL OF A GUN right? Redistribution of freedom and jailtime. Strooooong words. But far away from reality. Fact is, that imperfect systems like the law are being accepted because they are very, very good and useful while doing some things wrong sometimes. For a greater good for all. It always made sense to use such systems and it makes sense today. So there is no problem with such redistribution by a tax of around 0,01% or similar. It is not perfect, but great. That´s it.
To talk about redistribution at the barrel of a gun is just the typical american anti marxist, anti socialist cold- war- bullshit propaganda paired with cluelessness about systems of societal organisation, like capitalism, feudalism, dictatorship or socialism. Redistribution is not always bad at all. And it takes place in proper ways already. Has been like that for a long time. Also in times of much more prosperity in the west.
Prosperity can only take place while having some redistribution. Otherwise you wouldn´t even be able to even move through town, because everyone would own the land in front of his house and forbid you to move there or would demand from you to pay for doing so. Redistribution, which means that ALL people are allowed to use this space means freedom in this case. And not some shitty idiotic barrel of a gun.
In the same way UBI gives people a ton of freedom from being constipated with the struggle for survival by doing shitty jobs or even worse, like crime prostitution etc. It gives them freedom to do those jobs to have MORE but not to have a little. Which gives those jobs an absolutely different image. A better one. Lifting the dignity of people up. I absolutely agree with Peter on that. Freedom from humiliation is worth much more than 0,1% on stock transactions. Get real.
@Solidfreeman01
Stop paying your taxes, and you will see how real that gun barrel is. Dignity? You can't give someone dignity. I don't care how small a percentage of anything it might cost to provide UBI, any benifit is immediately zeroed out by having obtained the funds through force. The only redistribution that works is voluntary redistribution in the form of charities and gifts. Government redistribution is always by force. There will always be poor people. Giving people who can't manage the money they have more money will not make them any better off. It will enrich their landlords when the rent goes up, and their corner store owner when the price of groceries goes up. A favorite trope is that people would get degrees if they had UBI. Take a look at the average poor persons UA-cam history, and I'm certain you won't find a long list of videos related to the degree they would pursue if only UBI were given to them. People who don't use every means possible to improve their situation will not magically do so if given UBI. Go ahead. Vote for a UBI. I will invest the money in real estate and raise my rent to take advantage of all the extra cash people would have. You will accomplish nothing.
Poverty is a state of mind.
@Solidfreeman01
The closest thing to a just tax is a flat tax on consumption. I can control my consumption. I can easily become a minimalist. Try funding your UBI when people decide to start bartering.
Do you know how I know that man-made climate change is a joke? If it were real, they would already have placed large taxes on the consumption of luxury items and fuel. Giving everyone UBI would increase consumption, putting more carbon into the atmosphere. Climate disaster is all a big lie.
@@psychicspy hahahahaa, yes you try living in poverty, actually poverty $0 in assets $0, in income for 20 years. see how much dignity you have when a drunk coming out of the dance club pisses on your card board box bed for 100th time. how much dignity are you going to have when the cops jump you for raising your voice to the rich club going kid? you know nothing.
Andrew Yang is a legend.
