Twitter's Jack Dorsey Is Giving Andrew Yang $5 Million to Build the Case for a Universal Basic Income

— what he called a “Freedom Dividend” — the centerpiece of his campaign. He told voters that the U.S. was “in the third inning of the greatest economic and technological transformation in the history of our country” with advances in automation and artificial intelligence poised to radically reshape the global economy.

Dorsey says he sees universal basic income not only as a way to help people who’ve lost their income during the pandemic but also as a safety net of sorts in a fast-changing economy. “Every single field is going to be touched by automation, and UBI to me represents a floor,” Dorsey says. “A floor that people can stand on, and have the knowledge and peace of mind that they could survive and eat and feed their children while they are learning how to transition into this new world.

“There’s no one person leading this automation charge, and there’s no one person that can stop it,” he says. “That’s why we need to look inwards and make sure we’re taking care of everyone, especially our most vulnerable as this shift happens. People need that peace of mind to face it in the first place.”

Jack, I'm lazy, and want to just lie on the beach and smoke weed all day, but have a home and plenty of food....and I want someone else to pay for it (again, I'm lazy) - so your Univ. Basic Income sounds just like what I've been looking for all my life! Where do I sign up!?

FUCKJACK! TWITTERSPREADSTRUMPSHATE

nintendude794 'Build case for___'. . An industry I didn't know existed

How is a billionaire gifting $250 to 20,000 people once going to prove the viability of a $3.5t/year wealth transfer? For such a “good idea,” it sure is surrounded by a lot of obfuscation (like pretending oil dividends are UBI and calling the stimulus “Emergency UBI,” my favs).

This is an excellent way of lowering people's compensation and compensation grown YoY. Do we think you company is going to give you a raise YoY if you are getting a universal basic income? Again, there are no free lunches. Stop with the getting paid for existing arguments.

If a quantum computer could process every possible scenario, and it told us that UBI was without a doubt the best economical direction for the country to go, we would still not do it.... MERICA!!!

ZenBonobo What's up with wearing woolen ski caps indoors? Is jack cold?

lordhart_ I think that’s called minimum wage 🤔

That is so cool. Thanks Jack Dorsey.

mbarrbosa

And that's why we love Dorsey!

Naxxion this just reemphasizes what I said about him.

Andrew Yang is what this country needs.

I loved this guy on games of thrones.

jack should just finally block djt from this network.

5 million 🤔 that’s publicity and show, a drop on a hot 🥵 stone 🤥

Why not me ?

ok that's fine jack now take off that stupid fucking knit cap and ban realDonaldTrump

That's just super. Now let's get rid of the right-wing hate speech on This Damned Blue Bird Site...

Woah! jack is really stepping up to the plate to help people with his wealth. And we are seeing true Presidential leadership from AndrewYang. Love this! JackAndYang

Ok jack, but you are supposed to give *me* money too.

Aaah - God Bless Jack Dorsey ! 🙏

writersMAMA Yang gang

So many people hungry right now.

THAT'S Jack Dorsey? Jesus, the guy looks like a homeless dude sleeping on the L in Chicago.

Give me $50 and a free hour and I can give you that info.

UBI is merely a way to reinforce winner-take-all capitalism, where a few people have tens of billions and everyone else gets crumbs. Notice how its main proponents are tech and finance rich folks?

Jack Dorsey just lost $5 million

alexisohanian yikes

waltshaub Andrew Yang offers Jack 5 million to delete trump’s account.

shreen66 No problem 'to build a case', but the consequences will be devastating for mankind. Money for nothing has never worked and will never work Everybody will be even more enslaved.

HumanityForward JackAndYang

AndrewYang the best thing about yang - although after endorsing biden he's gonna need to do a lot to gain back my trust and vote - is that he's actually trying to prove his policy will work.

Lol

I'll build a case for $ 4 million. How about it jack?

what a squad

Good. Now shutdown Trump’s twitter account for repeated violation of community standards.

AndrewYang t h a n k y o u v e r y m u c h 💚

Hey jack Dorsey, instead of doing that, you can directly help people by giving them money, I could use it.

scottsantens Cool! It is definitely more than I have contributed financially so far which is none. I am sure it feels great giving to this great cause UBI EradicatePoverty

Nice. Now how about banning Trump for violating terms and conditions.

AndrewYang DieG0at 💪🏼

AndrewYang's full conversation with Jack 👇

waltshaub Dorsey seems to be undergoing a transformation of sorts.

Jack! I can do it for $1 million!

socialist

AndrewYang He understands that a core aspect of Andrew Yangs’s plan is to tax the crap out of tech companies right?

Why not just pick Nevada and Florida and distribute the $5 million today when it’s most needed?

Love this. We need UBI 💵🤚🏼💵🤚🏽💵🤚🏾jack AndrewYang

scottsantens For real I need some of this work for my family making 8.55 an hour at McDonalds. I do this for my family for real! My daughter is my motivation, daddy loves you Rachel! You my baby girl no matter my income

The tax payer being forced to give healthy, able bodied people unearned money permanently is a form of mental abuse wrapped in good intentions. What self respecting man wants peoples scraps. Private person doing it is just a waste of his wealth but I’m ok with that.

AndrewYang I don’t trust our government for 2 seconds to handle this properly

AndrewYang This is known as private charity - the only way UBI can be enacted. Money does not originate from trees. It comes from pockets. Any other method is 'magical thinking'. Those of us living on Planet Reality understand this.

waltshaub Why can’t jack suspend frumps twitter

AndrewYang The gang is strong. The gang is still alive OnTheYang🧢

AndrewYang Excited to watch JackandYang on YangSpeaks today!!!

blakehounshell Exceptional, thank you Mr Dorsey. Our present Leader is on a Mission to turn America's already poor, into destitute or dead(or both). Andrew would have made an excellent VP, but that doesn't mean there isn't a great position in President Biden's WH for him. JoeBiden AndrewYang

We sure Andy Bernard has the $

waltshaub But won’t censor any right wing crazy, against own rules

Which begs the question, Why the fu*k does Jack have that kind of money to throw around?

AndrewYang jack is the most generous person. Since this pandemic started he has been donating to those affected, in need and for other many good causes. What a beautiful soul!!

AndrewYang jack I’ll do it for half the price

jsnmiller314 No thanks

💗💗💗

blakehounshell So we can afford to sit around and tweet all day.

waltshaub Jack is a PAB.

morgan5133 And they have an awesome podcast episode about the future of tech at JackAndYang

Twitter's Jack Dorsey should remove trump's twitter account based on Twitter's own rules and requirements for use.

AndrewYang Jack should give Andrew $100Million to build that universal citizen services dashboard!!!

OK, next step: remove all the propaganda bots from twitter.

AndrewYang this the redistribution of wealth I’ve been dreaming of.

AndrewYang JackAndYang

Guess yang needs to find someone willing to give their money for ubi our government is trillions in debt and it's not so much where will money come from but who will pay government has no money funded by taxpayers so we know who will pay

AndrewYang Doesn't the fact that Dorsey has that much in petty cash already make the case?

Jenny_IDLYITW Can I get 2 mill for arguing the opposite!! I'll settle for 2

AndrewYang Jack Dorsey needs to do something about allowing minors 13+ to be on Twitter while endorsing & protecting Pedophiles on the same platform

AndrewYang why do we keep trying things that have failed...

Free money: Amid the coronavirus, a monthly paycheck from the feds doesn't seem crazyBackers of direct-cash programs such as universal basic income see new opportunity because of coronavirus relief. And support appears to be growing fast. Funny how a worldwide pandemic can cause such ideas to become reality. We should have done this ages ago if we really wanted to stimulate the economy. Money ONLY flows UP! stop calling it free money They better not be handing out masks.
