Rating:
Andrew Yang was rated 27% by Greenpeace (Presidential Candidate Climate Scorecard [Updated 07/17/2019])
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Climate change is much too benign sounding - we need to rebrand it to "climate crisis" or "global warming" or "climate catastrophe" to convey the severity of the situation we are in."
Social Media
:
Tweet - "I didn't always believe that decriminalizing opioids was a good way to tackle the opioid crisis in our country. Then I dug into the data, and realized it is the single best way to facilitate recovery by prescribing treatment, not jail, to struggling users."
07/16/2019
Social Media
:
Tweet - "We need to rewrite the rules so that trillion dollar tech companies aren't paying less in taxes than the average American. If we put a mechanism in place where we all benefit from new innovations we can easily afford a dividend of $1,000 a month."
07/15/2019
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Our criminal justice system needs an overhaul. I'd get rid of private prisons and cash bail practices that systematically target poor folks. It shouldn't be a crime to be poor in this country."
07/14/2019
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Starting a business without stable economic footing is near impossible. It's no wonder we've seen more businesses close than open in most of the country in recent years. By putting money into our hands more small businesses will grow."
07/13/2019
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Increasingly, there will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot can't do as well as, or better than, a human. We need to get real about the future of work, including Universal Basic Income in an era of unprecedented automation."
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Millions of Americans lack access to inexpensive financial services. But every community has a post office. We can follow other countries and provide basic banking services through the post office - it would lower costs and give post offices a boost."
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Time with family is good for both us and the economy. We should catch up to the rest of the world and have federally mandated paid family leave."
07/07/2019
Social Media
:
Tweet - "Iran's incentives to adhere to the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement are limited if US economic sanctions are being imposed. I would re-enter negotiations with the existing agreement as a starting point. The goal should be to reduce tensions while moving our interests forward."
