18. That has been a time honored position that has never come to fruition.

Yang wants to put things in place that curb creation and development. He is truly a Luddite. It's something I cannot appreciate. Jobs will always shift around. That is a fact of life. A lot of AI that Yang would attempt to slow through taxation and incentive is actually technology that would make workplaces safer, more environmentally friendly, and produce all new higher paying jobs. Something we desperately need. Many of these jobs would be jobs where only a base education is needed. Some far more advanced.

Let AI flourish. That is my thought. Even your own argument goes against yourself. You say we have "lost so very many jobs over the decades to automation, computerization and consolidation that I only see massive unemployment ahead." We have lost these "very many jobs" yes aren't suffering from massive unemployment. This isn't our employment problem.

I say all of this respectfully. I really do like Yang.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
