“I am a numbers guy,” Yang said. “In most of these [upcoming] states, I’m not going to be at a threshold where I get delegates, which makes sticking around not necessarily helpful or productive in terms of furthering the goals of this campaign.”

With Kamala Harris and Andrew Yang out, the remaining AAPI candidate in the Dem race is Tulsi Gabbard

Yang's catchphrase:

“The opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math!”
Yang told Buzzfeed his legacy is promoting universal-basic income:

“That will be the most important legacy: If we accelerate the end of poverty in this country — which I believe we already have, because I don’t think this idea is going to go away."

"42 percent of Yang's supporters – or the 'Yang gang' as they call themselves – would refuse to support any other Democratic candidate that became the party's nominee"

My absolute favorite bar in DC, @allsoulsbar, announces that they are closing until the Coronavirus situation calms down.

"The very thing we do is bring people together and right now that seems like a bad idea, especially with booze involved. Please be careful out there."
"Please be safe, be kind, and do your part to end this nonsense."
It's an act of leadership and courage to voluntarily close for Coronavirus concerns, considering the financial implications for @allsoulsbar.

And on St Patrick's Day weekend too.

Better believe I will be among their first visitors when they open up again

The Army is ALWAYS looking for dentists.

Might be a long-shot but as a longtime dentist Rep. Paul Gosar might find an age waiver if he was inclined to join.

Actually this reminds me of a story about the only military dentist to get the Medal of Honor...
Ben Salomon was an infantryman and later a dentist.

As a 29 year old (this would have been 1944) he had been commissioned and then sent to the Marianas Islands to fill in for a wounded surgeon.

A losing Japanese commander ordered waves of suicide attacks...
While treating a patient, Saloman began to observe Japanese soldiers approaching his casualty collection point

He grabbed a rifle and shot an attacker before resuming care. He then clubbed two Japanese soldiers, bayoneted one more, and shot a fourth one.

How is Russia trying to boost Sen. Sanders' campaign?

Over the past six weeks, Russian public messaging has shifted to mirror pro-Sanders talking points first used in the last presidential campaign.

I take a deeper look here: npr.org/2020/03/05/812…
"What's really come on strong just in the last 30 to 45 days are very similar narratives that we saw in 2016 about Sanders," said Clint Watts of the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Coverage on Sputnik and RT was more neutral in the fall

npr.org/2020/03/05/812…
Of course, Sanders has condemned any help from Russia:

"Hey, Mr. Putin, if I'm president of the United States, trust me, you're not going to interfere in any more American elections."

His campaign points out Russia just wants to create chaos.

With 415 #Delegates at stake, the #CaliforniaPrimary represented the biggest haul in the country.

@EpochTimes spoke to voters in #OrangeCounty, #SanFrancisco County, and Santa Clara County as they entered the voting centers. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/a-talk-with-vo…
Many voters said they would support the Democrats in the general election even if their candidates lose the nomination.

#Healthcare was a top issue for many, and several older voters said that #Biden’s experience as vice president made them choose him.
Sen. @BernieSanders won #California with just over a million votes statewide, and @JoeBiden trailed him with about 740,000 votes.

About 1.5 million turned out to vote for Trump, who won the Republican primary.

6 Lists To Make Yourself #Productive (Thread) ☀

◾ Daily to-do list
◾ An Outsource list
◾ Long-term goals list
◾ Pros & Cons List
◾ Project list
◾ A Talking Points list
A specific daily to-do list✅:

1) You should put things on a to-do list that you have the time and resources to achieve⏳

2) Big goals & Projects should be broken down into actionable tasks 🕺

3) If something doesn't get done, reevaluate the task at the end of the day✏
An #Outsource List ✅:

1) Look at everything on your to-do list and ask yourself 'Am I the only person who can do this?'

2) Anything that can be given to someone else should be put on a outsource list.

3) Outsourcing will save time which can be used to focus on other things.

My most productive time in the day is the morning. And morning is the time I end up wasting very often, because I have the whole day to work, right?

#productive #Time #lawyers #law #lawsikho
When I was younger, I mostly worked late at night. I found that time to be serene and less distracting. Also, as I didn’t get the work done the entire day, sometimes I was just forced to work hard late at night.
I even got convinced that I am not a morning person, but someone who needs to stay up late and work. I called myself a night owl.

However, entertaining such fantasies while I was in college was easier.

Okay you want to talk about a welfare safety net? Let’s talk about a welfare safety net. A thread on welfare, from a kid who grew up on food stamps. /1 #yang #yanggang #yang2020 #andrewyang #HumanityFirst #yangbeatstrump #ubi #DemDebate
There are 83 overlapping federal welfare programs, and all of them together make up the largest budget item in the US. This is all means-tested welfare that excludes Medicaid and Social Security, the total comes out to about 1.03 trillion. /2
For comparison, Social Security cost $725 billion, non-war defense cost $540 billion, and Medicare cost $480 billion. (All of these numbers are from a Senate Budget Committee Report in 2011) /3

Digging around the @ONS MQ5 dataset, thought I’d share 4 UK pension charts. First up, employer contributions to funded pension schemes still overwhelm employee contributions 1/4
Beneath the surface though DB normal contributions on a secular decline, with one-off Employer contributions huge and lumpy. DC contributions on the march (and can be expected to jump this April!) 2/4
When we ask who is contributing what (ex-special) we can see that aggregate contributions to schemes are on the rise as a % of GDP. 3/4
