Data driven, economically minded. So glad he'll be in the debates. Wishing him lots of luck.

Thanks for posting, Rhiannon12866.

Unlike our candidates who already hold public office, this was one I knew next to nothing about so I was glad that Colbert had him on - and gave him time, too.

UBI is a fascinating idea, to be sure. Sadly, $1000 isn't quite enough, I think, for a family in this economy. Instead, how about $1000 per capita. That would still only cost about $320 Billion to make happen.

Unfortunately, Andrew Yang is going to finish out of the running, entirely. We're not ready for him yet.
