@jasonvoorheesa2 @sexyandstupid @cgill75 @Spyderklamp @joerogan Short: Resource exploitation. Alaska’s Basic Income is derived from Oil, Yang’s is from big data and automation.

Long: Check out Yang’s Freakonomics Interview https://t.co/ZsnjF72Cao

@sexyandstupid @jasonvoorheesa2 @cgill75 @Spyderklamp @joerogan 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from financial disaster. I cannot in good conscious spend savings on my passion instead of an emergency fund, and neither can many others. 40 years of stagnant wages have made 2 jobs a necessity to just get by, much less save

@sexyandstupid @jasonvoorheesa2 @cgill75 @Spyderklamp @joerogan In order to become a twitch streamer partner, you’re required to be streaming multiple times a day. And the entire reason I’m interested in UBI is because my job is at risk of automation

@sexyandstupid @jasonvoorheesa2 @cgill75 @Spyderklamp @joerogan And no, Yang is not calling for printed money, it is a restructuring of our current welfare spending among other measures.

@sexyandstupid @joerogan What’s the first question you’ll ask when someone comes for money with a UBI?
“Where did your dividend go?”

Right now, there’s a fine line between being a “garbage person” and just having streak of hardship.

Also, even garbage person spending money moves the economy.

@AndrewYangVFA @joerogan @ThatKevinSmith JRE is what introduced me to UBI. From the moment I saw you announce your campaign, I wanted to see you on Joe’s podcast. Very excited to hear how the discussion goes. Many ears will be listening, bring everything you’ve got!

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

If we want society to move forward and be productive, we need to look at the root issue of poverty. We need to think of new ways to solve for this problem including simply giving people what they need to cover their basic needs.

@gm3beats I gave up my podcast because money got too tight. I only made it 4 episodes in and I regret not trying harder. I don’t know the answer, but I can empathize with you. I’m optimistic things WILL get better. Creativity is being valued more and more but the market is having to adapt

My episode on how Ready Player One succeeded or failed in showing general audiences the possibilities of VR will be out before long! Sorry for the wait, and thanks to all who have given me such amazing feedback!

[Building The Oasis Podcast @BuildingOasis]

@Piebarian Thank you so much! When I dream of the future, VR has endless possibilities. This podcast tries to put those dreams into words! I’ll have a new episode out soon!

@Boogie2988 Esports is a $20 BILLION business. Gaming in general is a economic beast that fat cats have only recently begun to understand. Is it possible they’re starting to recede?

[Building The Oasis Podcast @BuildingOasis]

@BigDreamBigMeme That’s pretty much exactly the tech used in “Ready Player One”. By the time we can do that, I imagine the entire experience will be presented that way. Solves the issue FOV and resolution at the same time!

[Building The Oasis Podcast @BuildingOasis]

@BigDreamBigMeme They are and I’d buy one if I had the money! But it’s still not the best for reading text, I.e., using it as a replacement for your desktop. So a little more resolution and a wider fov and these babies could be the last TV screen you buy

@ryan_a_bell I grin at the idea of Plato, exasperated, “you’re willingly going ‘into’ the cave?!”

Yeah Plato, this cave has lightsabers and anime girls. I’d like to see Plato do my 9-5 job and not go scurrying back into a dimly lit tunnel 😂
