On Energy & Oil: 10 years too late on climate change, move to higher ground

Yang said, "Even if we were to curb our emissions dramatically, the Earth is going to get warmer. The last four years have been the four warmest years in history. We are too late. We are 10 years too late."

"We need to do everything we can to start moving the climate in the right direction," he continued, "but we also need to start moving our people to higher ground--and the best way to do that is to put economic resources into your hands so you can protect yourself and your families."

On Jobs: Most new jobs are gig, temporary, or contractor

Why is it that a job is 9 to 5 or 10 to 6? Ninety-four percent of the new jobs created in the U.S. are gig, temporary, or contractor jobs at this point, and we still just pretend it's the '70s, where it's like, 'You're going to work for a company, you're going to get benefits, you're going to be able to retire, even though we've totally eviscerated any retirement benefits, but somehow you're going to retire,'" We're like, 'Oh, it's all right.' It's not all right. Source: The Atlantic magazine on 2019 Democratic primary Aug 15, 2019
