@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang Hi Laura,

Good question. I see you got a lot of responses from #YangGang.

There won’t be any price controls on Main Street businesses because it’s a free market so you can take that off the table.

Local businesses have been struggling to compete against big box retailers...
@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang Since the last Great Recession.

When they finally have more people in their community coming in to get haircuts, car repairs and have things like dental repairs done...they’ll be thrilled for the steady business.

Jacking up prices would push away those very customers...
@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang To their competitors.

Local businesses don’t operate like an oil cartel and thus don’t collude on price fixing. They aren’t nature more pure market driven.

The second thing that will happen is they will need to hire more people as the demand increases...
@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang This will be well received as the local job markets have really stagnated.

So not only will people have an extra $1,000 / month they will also be able to take the local jobs that they actually want to work at.

And since our seniors won’t be forced to work in their retirement,
@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang That will free up more entry level jobs like bag groceries or being a server for younger folks and college students.

Right now people are working multiple jobs to make ends meet.

This plus other factors distorts the employment numbers to seem like we are at full employment...
@Lau_Bast @jkennyamdg @AndrewYang So in reality, we will not have to worry about price controls, shortages or inflation from any form of #UBI or the #FreedomDividend.

$1,000 per month will be absorbed and then lubricate the wheels of our rusty local economies.

GDP is a dead man walking...
...and the legacy of solely putting profits above all else will be shelved as well.
21st Century Economics takes a more realistic perspective at the limitations of resources. The prioritization of people and communities will force us to do the hard Math that leads to better overall decision making regarding our well-being.

@WesPDX86 @DROC2447 @cenkuygur @BernieSanders If you look back historically, all great movements have been led by people who made it about more than just themselves. @AndrewYang is true servant leader. He has the "chops" meaning he first came to understand the most pressing challenges we face in the 21st Century...
@WesPDX86 @DROC2447 @cenkuygur @BernieSanders @AndrewYang Andrew understands how to look at the entire system and identifying the leverage points that need to be fundamentally changed in order to fix the system. The #HumanityFirst movement is more about a long-term approach that has given people a GPS if you will on how to behave...
@WesPDX86 @DROC2447 @cenkuygur @BernieSanders @AndrewYang If you read through his 120+ policies you will see & come to understand someone who addresses both the big & small things that will improve people's lives. The #Freedomdividend is the centerpiece because it will instantly help alleviate stress & anxiety for the majority...
