In the Green Room

CNN: What three issues do we have to deal with right now?

Yang: “The big three issues is one is that our economy is evolving in ways that’s pushing more and more Americans to the sidelines. So that’s why Donald Trump is our President today — is that we automated away four million manufacturing jobs, so that’s issue No.1: the evolving economy. No. 2 is climate change. The last four years have been the four warmest years in recorded history and climate change is about to accelerate and become a growing crisis. And No. 3 is our polarized and dysfunctional political system, which is making it impossible to get anything done to help solve the problems of the 21st century.”
