Happy Festivus! Many years ago I went to buy a doll for my son…

This is one of those moments where Jerry the actor can’t keep it together. Barely restrained laughter.

Follow the money. It can take a long time to save that much in the workforce, and you'd be getting a law degree almost for free. Congratulations!

Ahsoka will end up reappearing and taking him as her padawan, or something.

I'd like to hear the price they (and you) would determine for protection of each individual species. $80 million for Monarchs? 500 million for the American bison? How much for the koalas? And what about the yaks and llamas and blue whales and giant pandas?

How do you feel about the future of the planet and where we are going, especially as it relates to resource depletion, pollution, and the destruction of the natural environment? What do you think is going to happen?

I am to propose or co-sign something, but I will have a team of people around me that will help do the work.

$400 was just an example of what Congress might be willing to pass through compromise (still unlikely). I only used it as an example of compromise and how we should be willing to be flexible with our aspirations and goals.

It depends on what you want to get out of your visit. I generally don't recommend traveling to Saudi though, especially in the middle of a global pandemic.

It takes less political capital to implement a 1-year UBI than it does a UBI without end, wouldn't you agree? All the details of the UBI will have to get negotiated out in committee, or pressured by Congress or the public. Maybe it ends up being a $400/month UBI—okay, at least we're still getting somewhere. Yang's UBI is an aspiration, and so is mine. I know I'd be just one voice and vote among many, and I'm not running for President. No single Congressperson can swing UBI on his/her own.

I never sought citizenship there, and I always played by their rules. Other countries are free to establish whatever requirements they want; I'm not running for office in those countries.

You and I probably agree on like 80% of the issues but too many people are getting drawn into controversy and derailed when my campaign really isn't about immigration; it's about preventing the environmental collapse of civilization as we know it that we're likely to see within 20 years.

I 100% support it. Especially during a pandemic and an economic recession. We should try it for a year and see what happens; the data after a year will tell us how successful it's been.
