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

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
