Find me a politician who's saying "we need to prevent the AMA from artificially bottlenecking residencies" or "we need to reorganize higher education around student career expectations and implement elements of apprenticeship." Then find me a voting populace who wants to hear it

Relatively ignorant on Yang, although I've enjoyed listening to him speak. I kinda wish UBI wasn't his signature proposal, because I have such mixed feelings on it, but I think he's just playing his hand wisely. I donated to his campaign in the hopes the DNC will let him debate

That's nice to hear. I'm interested in your mixed feelings on UBI since I'm very much in favour of it but consider you an epistemic superior, so there are probably stuff I'm not considering.

I say "mixed feelings" in the most genuine sense. I've advocated for it in the past. There's a lot of evidence in favor of giving poor people cash over gov coupons, and I think a lot of people are bottlenecked re: long-term productivity for want of relatively small amounts of $

However, I also have my "epistemic superiors," and a few have very strong concerns about a bimodal impact that doesn't necessarily work out positively on net. The concern is that most people may not be very self-driven & lapse into dependency easily, even if it lowers their QOL
