I chatted with @JENFL23 the other day about UBI, MMT, ranked-choice voting, the @Fwd_Party, and about incentives in general and how what @AndrewYang is trying to do is to get people excited about reforming systems with reforms that don't typically excite.

Getting people excited about the possibility of starting to receive $1,000 a month is a lot easier than getting people excited about the prospect of being able to vote for more than one candidate, and ranking them to convey preferences. But the former may just require the latter.

To those not steeped in politics, especially those turned off by it, it's really challenging to get people excited about reforming a process they aren't interested in, but we need to try, and that's what Yang is attempting to do. He's trying to mobilize the disengaged.

We have a massive structural problem where incentives are in place to continually make things worse. We have to change the incentives before it's too late, so that the system produces better outcomes. We can't just keep feeding people through it all and expecting better outcomes.

Seemingly small changes, however unexciting they may seem, especially to those just trying to get by month to month, and especially to those being poisoned by misinfo, can mean the difference between more of the same and a government that finally actually works for We the People.

Please consider joining this fight to save the American Experiment by doing what you can to pass improvements like ranked-choice voting and open primaries in your states.
