Andrew Yang in Hong Kong |
Andrew Yang is here in Hong Kong right now and I've just seen him interviewed live by CNBC.
This guy is really sensible, speaks eloquently, knowledgeably and coherently. Has started successful companies; written books. Cynics will say that puts him out of the running... ("he's overqualified!").
One of his key policies: Universal Basic Income of US$1,000 per month paid for with a value-added tax. As a transition to a "capitalism of the future". Which he then talks about. Again, coherently and sensibly.
Seriously folks, he's good and must be worth watching. Way more so than the ditzy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
He's the embodiment of the American dream. Parents emigrated to the United States, from Taiwan. Did well. Son sent to the best Universities. Son campaigns for presidency. Wonderful!
