apple | In this episode of the Portal, Eric checks in with his friend Andrew
Yang to discuss the meteoric rise of his candidacy; one that represents
an insurgency against a complacent political process that the media
establishment doggedly tries to maintain. Andrew updates Eric on the
state of his campaign and the status of the ideas the two had discussed
as its foundation when it began. Eric presents Andrew with his new
economic paradigm; moving from an 'is a [worker]' economy to a 'has a
[worker]' economy. The two also discuss neurodiverse families as a
neglected voting block, the still-strong
but squelched-by-the-scientific-establishment STEM community in the US,
and the need to talk fearlessly - and as a xenophile - about immigration
as a wealth transfer gimmick.
