Yang's thing is that automation is destroying all the jobs, so we need universal basic income. There is a case for UBI (and a case against, in favor of more targeted aid), but either way the premise is wrong. Productivity has been slowing down, not speeding up 2/ https://t.co/yNiUAZqg3a — PolitiTweet.org

OK, it seems mean to pick on Andrew Yang, who won't even be a factor in the nomination. But he positions himself as the tech guy who knows how the world really works, and there are others like him. So maybe worth pointing out that they're all wrong 1/ https://t.co/nfrXnt7nHH — PolitiTweet.org

And while Yang asserts that automation destroyed lots of manufacturing in the midwest, you don't have to be a protectionist to realize that the acceleration of job loss after 2000 was mainly about the surging trade deficit 3/ https://t.co/rI9286GDuL — PolitiTweet.org
