Thank you Solvegas for an exceptional beauty in Nan. Love her and I thank you for the post! Has it been three days? Oh My Gosh! But it is partly my fault. I have been absorbed in the Democratic Presidential Debate. I know... Zzzzzzz for most of you. But as a woman, I am so hopeful of Andrew Yang's proposal for a Universal Basic Income (or Freedom Dividend as he calls it). This is very deep stuff, but essentially he is proposing a dividend, much like a stock dividend to all Americans. $1000 a month for everyone 18+ paid for by a Value Added Tax which would finally make Amazon, Google and **24** pay some taxes. We are all stockholders in America and the dividend would be a right much like it is done in Alaska with their Oil Dividend. Anyway, can you imagine how that would impower women? So many of my girlfriends can't leave an abusive relationship because they don't have any money. How many homeless people could finally find some place to live? How many people fresh out of prison could have a leg to stand on to begin anew? How many poor families would actually have resources for education and opportunities for creating new businesses? Martin Luther King, Jr. was advancing Universal Basic Income when he was assasinated in 1968. It almost became law under the Nixon administration. 1000 economists urged it to be passed and now we have Andrew Yang showing us it is urgent because of the upcoming Robot Apocalypse where truck drivers, retail workers, factory workers, accountants, call center workers and more will be replaced by AI within the next 10 years. Robot trucks are already on the roads, menu kiosks in reastaraunts, Amazon warehouses are wall-to-wall robots who never **82** and don't need health benefits.
And yet. in the first Democratic Presidential debates, Yang was asked only one question and his mic was turned off so he could not speak. Why? He is not a corporate politician. He is a threat to the Oligarchy in America. He is for women's reproductive rights. He is for crushing the power brokers who hold our country in thrall. If there ever was a candidate who the status quo does not want to see rise, it is Andrew Yang.
He is a mild man with a lot of humor and not some firebrand illusionary. Watch this and be amazed:

I know that as a woman I have little influence in the greater scheme of things, but I do want things to change for the better for all Americans and people everywhere. I know, quite a soapbox speech, but hey, if just one of my thread followers listens to the Rogan podcast all the way through, I will feel better.
I will post new content soon, probably tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
