  1. Hear hear couldn't have said it better myself.
  2. I think it's a difference between a MLK type and a Malcolm X type
  3. @Leo Gura such as...
  4. You're right Leo I agree. Yang has over 100 policy proposals that are all relevant to the 21st century. I doubt that Sanders tackles as many issues that Yang does. Also Yang is running on Sanders legacy. Yang actually voted for Sanders when Sanders was running. The problem I see is that free college and $15 minimum wage does nothing to address people not being able to actualize themselves because when a job is out of reach or you have a job you hate and it only give the bear minimum it's really hard to spend time on thinking of anything other than basic survival needs. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/
  5. @remember Think about this.
  6. Money = Power
  7. @remember the basic income being spent will create jobs. What country are you from then?
  8. @Leo Gura This is why I think a Universal Basic Income is a much better idea than a raise of $15 an hour. When Sanders helped these employees get to $15 an hour their hours were cut
  9. I know I saw that I was very disappointed.
  10. So @Leo Gura what do you think of these guy? https://represent.us/
  11. Well the way I got this job seemed to be through serendipity. The headphones I had for my computer got busted then I went there to change them. I successfully changed them and as I was leaving the parking lot my mom called and told me not to forget about an external hard drive either. So I went back in and as I was looking for an external hard drive and all of a sudden a friend of mine who I went to the same classes with and know for a good two years and didn't see for about a year tapped on the glass and said hi to me and we talked about our lives. He said working there was pretty awesome. Then I see that the front of the store says they are having a hiring fair for the holiday season in two days. Well I think to myself I'm working strictly online in high ticket sales and that hasn't exactly been working that great for me and I am missing the human element of actual being around people and talking to them. So I decided to go to the hiring fair and at first I get bad memories about job hunting in the old days. They put me in front of a computer and make me fill out all the usual boring shit that I hate. After that I qualified for an interview with the manager's then he qualified me for an interview with the General Manager. I had to wait about an hour and a half to do it but, it was worth it. Turns out that when I told him I love technology, gave great answers, and I was smiling the entire time he really liked that. I asked for $14 an hour and he even raised me up to $15. I got a piece of paper from him saying welcome to Best Buy with a phone # and an email. The best part of this whole thing is this. I really enjoyed my time working with Hector and now I get to be his co-worker. I think that's even one of the reasons I got hired because I talked about Hector to them a lot. Also that particular store is the store of my childhood memories and I always enjoyed going in there with my father looking at all the electronics and browsing through the store and all the interactive displays. Electronic retail for me makes you use more of your mind and it's not as robotic and soul crushing as working in fast food. Clothes stores for me are also pretty boring and uninspiring. The one thing I'm worrying about now though it the I-9 form. My passport expired 3 months ago and I heard that now I can't use that form of identification if I could it's the only form of identification I would need. Now I have my drivers license but, that is a B form of identification I need one form from the C list. I can't find my social security card and I have a photocopy of the certified copy of my birth certificate but, I'm afraid that they wont like that and ask for the original. I'm a little nervous that my targeted hiring date is on the 17th which is coming up and if I can't produce those documents fast enough they wont like it. I think though that I may be a little too worried. It's because in the past I had so much trouble getting my foot in the door and hardly getting call backs or hearing back from interviews that I'm thinking to myself how about if something goes wrong. I really want to have this job and I was extended an offer but, I'm getting nervous about this I-9 documentation shit. I'm sure though that if I don't have both documents by that date if they really need help for the holidays they'll wait until I have time to re-order a SS card just in case they didn't accept the copied birth certificate. Anyway all and all it looks pretty good and I'm really looking forward to working at this job.
  12. If any of you needed hard evidence that trickle down economics is a scam here it is.
  13. Something else trickled down on the middle class and the poor it wasn't money.
  14. Yang is gaining steam every single day.
  15. It's a hard pill to swallow/bullet to bite to "love everything". I know that we are god/infinite etc. but, there are some things that when I think about them it makes my skin crawl/churns my stomach. My mind goes to these dark places from time to time. I remember when I accepted this job to sell phones to low income people and I was so shocked and disgusted at what I saw. We went to these areas of South LA that were just so depressing and dilapidated with people who were just such undesirables. every corner a liquor store, a bail bonds place, and a payday loan. Then a lady on the street with a crack pipe. I was so grossed out and disgusted at what I saw. Then there was a mentally ill lunatic who was talking to himself and to the cars passing by incoherently and he got a fruit and threw it onto the street. It was funny and depressing at the same time. I couldn't imagine actually having to live in a place like that and not feeling a sense of hopelessness, depression, and loneliness everyday it was so gross. When I came back home as much as I get a little frustrated that my life hardly feels like I'm moving forward and I'm stuck I was just so so so happy to be home on that day and understand that my situation is so much better and I've kind of taken it for granted. I don't know sitting here at my desk in front of my computer but, being in the thick of the things I consider the ugliness is something else. I not only think about that but, I think about redneck culture too and hillbillies and how I can't see myself being happy with that stuff around me. Then I think to myself hey I'm everything experienced but, what about if everything also includes slipping into a pile of shit that infested with cockroaches... that's gross. I remember reading about medieval European torture devices like when I went to the London Dungeon experience but, the thing is that it was fun but, the fact is that life was really that depressing and scary back in those days and people acted like violent barbarians and had their organs pulled out while they were still alive. Thinking about all that stuff is so fucking depressing and hopeless yet, everything that exists is a part of me so would it include all of that. How the fuck can someone ever comes to terms with that it just seems so counter intuitive and tough.
  16. So @Leo Gura is this whole love everything pitch some kind of pyramid scheme to get us to be taken advantage of? lol.
  17. Why because he's Asian. You racist! Just kidding. Ya though Yang has a very deep understanding of all the dynamics around everything and why it's happening. Good observation. I live in the USA and I am supporting him for sure for the 46th President of the United States.
  18. Hey look at this guy using @Leo Gura's logic for basic income
  19. Alright he doesn't deserve to be listened to anymore. https://www.counterpunch.org/2014/05/09/the-moral-and-practical-failures-of-libertarianism-and-small-government-conservatism/
  20. @Leo Gura Take a look at this. At least there's someone on the conservative Fox News side speaking out against big business.
  21. If you wont take it from me take it from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXGoWtK1NnY
