Maybe the most crazy-making part of the Yang campaign is that some people are treating him and the lobbyists running his campaign like a blank slate. Yang has written TWO BOOKS about his politics! https://twitter.com/WillBredderman/status/1352480564234907648
Yang started a national org and wrote his first book claiming that the concentration of high-paying finance, consulting, and law jobs in cities like NYC is a big problem, and startups are the best answer. Does he still think this? Would he want to shrink those industries here?
In Yang's second book, he notes that America "has been getting less violent in most measurable ways." Why then is he against defunding the NYPD, as he just told @freedlander?
In his book Yang grimly predicts a revolution "born of race and identity," and "at the top will be educated whites, Jews, and Asians." Does he still believe this? Is this how he views the uprising for racial justice that millions of Americans took part in over the last year?

My fundamental Qs for Yang: Is he still trying to solve the global problems he cites— purposelessness leading to deaths of despair, soaring education and healthcare costs, a lack of startups, which he views as incredibly important?
Is a mayor even positioned to fix these? How?
