The endless endeavors weaved into our souls, such as
writing, photography, cooking, painting, producing music, drawing and cooking
are just a fraction of the vital ventures harnessed within the human spirit and mind.
If Andrew Yang becomes president, his Universal Basic Income for all Americans would fuel creative minds to heavenly heights.
The quote unquote American pastime is baseball, and
Andrew Yang said in his April 2018 book, “The War on Normal People,” America
is in the 4th inning of a financial apocalypse.
When people stress about money, creativity drops, it’s
that simple.
Yang details the math in his book on how each American citizen 18-years-old and older would receive $12,000 a year on top of what they already earn. Futile arguments against U.B.I. claim that people would become lazy and not work. Yang counters; how many people can live on $12,000 year? The Freedom Dividend, U.B.I. is not Yang's idea. He learned this from Martin Luther King Jr. who proposed a guaranteed income for all Americans in the late 1960s. The $1,000 a month is meant as an aide, not a means to retire once your 18-years-old.
U.B.I., would also cut down the crime rate and help relationships. Why are most petty crimes committed? You guessed it, money. Financial futility keeps some individuals from dating. Myself, once the bills are paid, there's nothing left over for dating. What do many couples argue and fight about a lot? The almighty dollar is a major factor in marriage and relationship hardships. The Freedom Dividend, or U.B.I. would strengthen relationships and make people happier.
A penny for every google search and multi-million and billion dollar businesses would be taxed one percent of its income that would go toward financing the $1,000 a month for all American citizens. If you want all the details on where the money would come from to finance the Freedom Dividend; read "The War On Normal People," or google Andrew Yang on U.B.I.
Yang said in his book, the Freedom Dividend might cost some people $2,500 a year, but when your receiving an additional $12,000 a year, the math works in the favor of the people.

Yang uses the word ‘normal’ in the title of his book
to mean average. “The War on Normal People’ is the best political book
I’ve ever read. The book is barely over 240 pages, an afternoon read, and Yang
illustrates the need for immediate change in America’s current financial
structure.
Right now, Americans seems content and clueless to the imminent
future of mass job loss and financial futility. Love it or loathe it, the future
is coming, and in this future most cars will be driverless. Truck drivers, taxi
drivers, bus drivers and all others who drive for a living will experience intense
job loss.
The technology is already in place for a few people to
operate thousands if not tens of thousands of driverless trucks and taxies able
to driver across town or across the country while a small few people traffic
these vehicles from PC’s in an office.
This very second, Google, Apple and Amazon are investing billions of dollars in artificial intelligence. The market rewards business leaders for making things more efficient. Efficiency doesn't love normal people, it loves getting things done in the most cost efficient way possible. We have a 1960s era government that has few solutions for the problems of 2018 Yang said.
Automation is coming and it’s coming fast and eliminating more and more jobs. Big retailers including Target and Amazon will one day have mass layoffs. Robots can already do cashiering as well as package and distribute products, while needing only about a dozen or so people that now require hundreds, it not tens of thousands of people.

The above information was not much news to me, but doctors
and lawyers will also be hit hard by automation, which I never thought possible
until I read “The War on Normal People.”
It will soon be common for a doctor to be able to
perform an operation on someone who’s in a different state. With technology
that already exist, a doctor in California can guide a robot doctor in New York
as it does minor or major surgery on its patient. Understand where this is
going, the number of doctors needed in America and the world will be massively
reduced.
Automation will also affect lawyers and accountants. Yang
states that many lawyers, particularly ones who have recently finished law
school and go to work in their first law firm mostly do paperwork. Accountants, much like lawyers have a
lot of paperwork, and most of the paperwork is money and numbers which a
computer can calculate much faster and accurately then people.
“The War on Normal People” illustrates how even the
wealthy one percent will one day be in a state of turmoil. “Mad Max,” the movie
is something that could very well be in America’s future Yang said, and I
believe him.
Yang is far more eloquently than myself about how America’s future is extremely bleak unless the powers that be start doing something to aide the middle class and poor now. Yang has solutions for a fabulous future with much lower crime and poverty rates. The statistics don’t lie as Yang points out. Crime is much higher in poverty-stricken areas.

“The War on Normal People’ is much more detailed and
insightful then what I’ve written, and I cannot recommend this book enough. A must read book for those seeking real answers to today's problems. Five stars for "The War On Normal People."
