Yes technological advancement has been happening since the start of history. But it is happening at an exponential pace. Eventually it's going to get to a point where technological progress is occurring at a faster pace than our ability to keep up.
That point is going to happen very soon. So what do we do when we hit that point?

And like Ross Perot, Yang will never be president.

Never underestimate the power of promising free money.
Any idiot can make a case for free money. Andrew Yang is educated and should know better, but still sells free money as a good idea.
I don't think many people actually believe he could make it happen. How can a president decide to pay everyone 1,000 a month?

It's funny how you guys create your own bogeymen.
You're the only person I know talking about Yang like he's a legitimate candidate.

And Trump destroyed all of them despite "never having a chance".
Make of that what you will.

So what is your answer for the coming automation revolution?
I agree that a UBI is less than ideal. But short of transitioning to a currency-less society I haven't really seen a better solution.

Not even a payoff.
If everyone is paid X, every price is set with the idea that everyone can afford at least X in mind and so prices rise with that in mind unless government takes complete control of sets price caps to make sure that no one makes the logical market adjustment.
