from that worker displacement. I have a visceral reaction to Yang. He appears to me to be someone trying to assuage his conscience for carrying out his work with singular clinical focus. I am also put off by some of the supporters whose writings are tinged with 'too bad but brave new world, cope'.

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