Is that so he can remember the bullet points his staff write for him?

Nerds don’t use PowerPoint, they memorize everything. Even all of the the scripts to every episode of a science fiction series.

Yuppies use PowerPoint.

Andrew Yang is an old Yuppie.

That’s right - political bullet points, just what the non-thinking, not able to think sheeple need.

G-d forbid he says something that critical thinking minds have to ponder. /sarc

Steve Jobs (Apple’s founder) wouldn’t allow anything but a whiteboard in the internal meetings he attended.

One bullet point in the example simpley states”Men Are Equal.” It would be interesting to hear what he would say about this. Our Constitution says that men are created equal. Men do not remain equal. Thomas Jefferson said, and I paraphrase, that it is a grave mistake to attempt to make unequal men equal.

The result is at best socialism. Usually it is oppression, tyranny, Cuba, North Korea, and etc.

Millennials love power point because they cannot absorb “thinking” unless it’s shoved down their throat. I would love to see Reagan’s City on a hill or “Tear down this wall” given in PowerPoint.

These peoples donot have a vision.

So, his plan is to give 16 year-olds a universal basic income ...

That ought not turn into a problem.

A good deal of time when I have sat through a PowerPoint presentation, they have problems getting the computer to connect with the projector. I hope President Yang’s people test that out beforehand.

Yes, this is the nerdiest presidential campaign in history!"

There are several types of temperament. People with the rational/melancholy type of temperament appreciate figures and lists and other forms of order and organization of information. They would not find power point presentations boring or a waste of time.

Yang has called for universal basic income and lowering the voting age to 16 as part of his presidential platform.

What an idiot.

Last week it was reported that Yang is working on a plan to give out $1,000 per month to two families in New Hampshire and Iowa as a way of demonstrating the benefits of his "Freedom Dividend" plan.

Sounds a lot like bribery to me.
