AI, UBI, and Noble Mobile: A Conversation with Andrew Yang
How automation is reshaping work, why universal basic income matters now, and building a privacy first phone company.
Andrew Yang breaks down the coming AI job shock and why UBI is becoming unavoidable. We also connect the dots between corporate media pressure, data exploitation, and why he built Noble Mobile on a simple principle: your data is yours, not a product to be sold.
I hope my readers check out Noble Mobile, not only because it helps you cut costs and protect your privacy, but also because it would mean you support an org that supports Let’s Address This. Noble Mobile is aligned with economic justice and independent human rights advocacy, and in my view that’s worth supporting.

He's always been spot on re: UBI. The time is now and he's been saying so.
JFYI: I'm on MINT 15.00/mo and you can pay a year upfront. Very happy with it. Unlimited text/calls 5G.
The other career that should NOT be an option is physical therapy. PT school now costs $160,000 to $200,000 for 7 years of schools.
I know PTs who graduated 12-15 years ago that are raising their kids in 1 and 2 bedroom apartments because they cannot buy a house due to the education debt.
I was one of the many PTs who fought against this and pushed for congress to keep reimbursements stable. We did not get either of our wishes. And the nasty intersection is what is going on today: not enough PTs because school is too expensive and reimbursements decline significantly every year.
