Since the pandemic, New York City has struggled. Those who could afford to have left the city, restaurants have been closed, and there has been a wave of crime. In this episode, Alex talks about Andrew Yang and how he has announced his run for Mayor of New York City. Though he has no experience in politics or government, it seems like he may have a shot to win. Alex goes into Yang’s spotty career history, his ambitious plans, and how he came to adopt a very unique and innovative political ideology. It seems like Biden’s presidency is showing that messaging is crucial and sometimes the most progressive agendas can be passed by very non ideological people. Could Yang do the same for NYC?
