@boburnham Thank-you for making it. โค

I know you probably won't even see this and that regardless it's an insane suggestion from a complete stranger but feel free to reach out if you ever need anything. โคโ
@nsrc44@ZachandMattShow Also, some politicians pay ppl to run fake accts to make it look like hating the competition is popular.
I got accused of being a "bot" during Yang's presidential run & no amount of "look at this policy that explains my support" trumps w/e they're paid to tamper w/ democracy. ๐
@JonMunitz We don't need more classist BS in our society.
Denying poor people access to social media - which in today's world accounts for a huge % of the spread of news & people's sense of connection - would be absurdly cruel, regardless of how well meaning the intention was.
@JoshuaPotash STOP ๐ LYING ๐ TO ๐ THE ๐ UNDERPRIVILEGED ๐ FOR ๐ POLITICAL ๐ GAIN.
It's sick how y'all can sit here, never having known true poverty, & convince ppl who desperately need $ relief that you're saving them by keeping them from it.
@JoshuaPotash The $2k is a starting point meant to grow, he has limitations but is always trying to do what he can to eliminate abject poverty.
You're spreading lies. The money will not eliminate social services.
Read his actual policy and not some smear article.

@AMarinCRPS @YangDerangement Also you can opt out - meaning you could choose to keep your benefits if you really wanted to.
So, NOBODY would be worse off, & millions of ppl, including the poor not on govt assistance would actually get a chance to live.
It is literally the elimination of abject poverty.
@AMarinCRPS @YangDerangement So, the real problem is means testing & the income cutoff being so low.
This means that under Yang you will be getting more money than you're getting now - that's the whole reason you would stop qualifying.
& it stacks w/ healthcare.
So, yeah, you'd be objectively better off.
@AMarinCRPS @YangDerangement You don't even understand Yang's platform and you're "but nice try"ing me?
If you honestly don't know this you'll thank me for telling you - Yang's UBI stacks with Medicaid & the programs it doesn't stack with are "unstackable" because $12K/yr puts you over the income threshold
@AMarinCRPS @YangDerangement You've clearly not lived in poverty if you don't think +$1K EVERY MONTH is a lot when you have NOTHING.
$1K/mo buys food & can help keep a roof over your head.
Ppl NEED HELP & you're advocating to instead give us nothing because that would be less "destructive"?!
Unbelievable.
@JonMunitz This isn't even a hot take, tbh.
This is just what is happening.
In addition to retaining control, the media knows that humans evolved to prioritize negative information.
So, media converts everything into outrage because negativity gets them more attention which = more $.
@heimaeyita@Playerinthgame@AndrewYang Okay. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm glad we established that you are basing your hatred on willful ignorance and no actual issues. Still confusing, but clear enough.
Who do you support for Mayor instead?
Also, what makes you think I'm a bot?
I thought we were going to be friends. ๐
@AndrewYang This is a story about a family that discovered their pet was not a good fit for their home and fixed the issue, improving the longterm wellbeing of both the family and the pet.
Please donate/volunteer at your local animal shelters as they deal with ACTUAL animal cruelty. โคโ
@Playerinthgame@AndrewYang Hypoallergenic does NOT mean no one is allergic to them. ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ
As someone who has worked in a shelter I can 100% say that this is a rare story of a family who realized their pet wasn't a good fit and did the right thing.
Why spread misinformation to breed hatred over *this*?
