@erictaylorHQ Hello Eric. Just got my early California ballot. Are you Yang Gang?

His overall message about how we should think about problems is right. We need details and concrete plans. I don't agree with all the details he has put forth to date but his MATH slogan does, I think, get to the heart of something we desperately need... more critical thinking.

Will you support a statewide Universal Basic Income regardless of whether Yang is president or not?

UBI isn't part of my platform but I think it deserves more deliberation. The high priority issues wrt to expanding our social safety net that have clear benefits are expanding Social Security, Medicare for all, and debt relief.

At the risk of being condescending. You're not winning my vote right now. I dont want to expand the safety net. With all due respect nets have holes. Instead of trying to catch people with need a floor. A foundation in which people can lift themselves up.

No offense taken. That said, our democracy also has holes, & the reason I'm running is to advance the idea that we can empower people in hashing out legislative solutions through open source processes. I'm running to provide people with an avenue for participation beyond voting.
