We talk about the NYC mayoral race, basketball, and theatre during the pandemic with our friend, Vinson Cunningham, a theatre critic at The New Yorker.
Wait, Jay, after all this time you still don't know why Yang ran for POTUS?
He wanted to advance UBI in the US.
His initial campaign domain was even something like ubi2020.org, before changing it to yang2020.com. There's a reason why Yang brought up UBI at every single debate, even though everyone laughed at him and his supporters urged him to diversify his answers. And you saw this again at the NH debate (after missing the Iowa debate, seeing his disappointing Iowa results, and realizing this is his last moment on national TV), he reverted to pushing for UBI over trying to squeeze a few more NH primary voters.
I have no idea if you even read these. One day, maybe I'll subscribe to get on the discord (I'm too old to use discord!)
