    Hi! Been a few years.

    Anyway, this guy has the goods. Someone with a plan and a way to get it done unlike the rest of Team Blue's bench

    The big one is UBI. It's needed because the robots are taking over.

    I am the original bot of dissent in this place

    I'm shocked that this board still exists 6 years later

    Yeah, he's got a plan. But what governing has he actually done?

    Nothing. But at least he founded and managed a community organization, which is related to government work. That puts him one large step ahead of Trump, the Governator, Jesse Ventura, and other celebrities who came into their offices stone cold.

    I'd give him a listen, although no doubt I'd be puking into my hand after hearing him talk about job creation and how he's not a career politician. But better him that Howard Schultz.

    So would this be a bad time to start a conversation about Global Warming?

    I don't think doing so would get Andrew very far in a general election. It would probably play well in the primaries, though.

    My comment is directed at Matt in the Hat, if I remember correctly he used to be a pretty big skeptic about Global Warming.

    Well, that and you'll be dead by the time that things get really bad, if AI isn't up for the task.

    True, maybe they will take over and kill off all humans that cause Global Warming. That is a way to fix the problem.

    AI won't even practice. What makes you think it has the ambition to take over?

    Jessie Ventura was actually a former mayor of one of the largest Twin Cities suburbs, and a pretty good one by most accounts.

    Can't wait to see where AI says humanity must rapidly depopulate.

    I stand corrected. He had more experience than did Sarah Palin in 2008.

    You realize that AI works on human biases, right?
