First of all, Andrew Yang is going to be in the Labor International Hall of Fame and in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor. There is no doubt that his work has qualified him to be remembered as one of the most impactful labor advocates of the 21st century. There might even be a Nobel Peace Prize in his future for his extraordinary efforts to prioritize human value over economic value.

He has been asked many times now in interviews on the campaign trail, “If you do not win the nomination, would you serve in the Administration of the candidate that does win?” He has consistently responded that as a parent and a patriot, he believes it is his responsibility to do whatever he can do to move the country forward.

Many people have suggested that he would make an exceptional Secretary of Labor. And, those people are right. Andrew Yang would be an exceptional Secretary of Labor. But having Andrew Yang as a Secretary of Labor would be a little bit like having Michael Jordan as the seventh man on a basketball team. The seventh man on a basketball team is not a starter and is generally not very well known. The seventh man is a good basketball player, and is absolutely necessary for championship teams, but you would never consider making Michael Jordan or Stephen Curry or Kobe Bryant a seventh man.

What makes Andrew Yang the best candidate to be President? In politics and leadership, there are no points to count to show how much better a candidate is than another. In sports, we can say a player is better because they are faster, stronger, smarter, and they score more points. In politics and leadership, all of the candidates are smart, quick-witted, and confident, and they all have noteworthy experience. And, there is no way we can say that one type of experience will inherently be better for the country. So how can anyone possibly assert that one candidate will be better for the country?

The best hockey player to ever play the game, Wayne Gretzky, was famously taught to skate to where the puck is going, not where the puck has been. Perhaps the most constructive way to determine who would be the best President is to evaluate each candidate’s ability to see where the puck is going. In other words, the most valuable superpower in a Presidential candidate is the ability to see the future(s). If you had ten candidates with ten different superpowers, you would be wise to always choose the candidate that can see the future(s), because that is the candidate that would be most likely to make good decisions for the country. The skill of foresight is far more important than any other skill.

What does Andrew Yang see that other candidates don’t? He is the only candidate to openly recognize the disruptive impact of automation and AI on our economy. His website notes, “Technology is quickly displacing a large number of workers, and the pace will only increase as automation and other forms of artificial intelligence become more advanced. ⅓ of American workers will lose their jobs to automation by 2030 according to McKinsey. This has the potential to destabilize our economy and society if unaddressed.” And, he has been talking about this on the campaign trail for months, and none of the other candidates have started talking about these trends. Do the other candidates not see this? It is possible that the other candidates are so singularly focused on ousting the current administration that they aren’t able to see past the 2020 election. What does that say about how they would operate in the White House?

We face a convergence of crises the likes of which humanity has never encountered. Imagine for a moment automation and AI trends continue and millions lose their jobs in a matter of just a few years. The poverty rate skyrockets as millions of baby boomers attempt to retire. Then a series of hurricanes hit major cities like Houston, New Orleans, Miami, and New York City, and thousands more are displaced from their homes. And then right as we are recovering from those disasters and Congress is passing a major stimulus package, a new conflict starts in the Middle East, and the international community looks to America to step in. And then it is campaign season again and the President has to manage all of the current crises while defending the actions of the last four years.

If the President we elect has the gift of foresight, we as a country will be much better off, especially in the long run. There is no doubt that the career politicians in the race are good leaders, and they have represented their constituents well. But, there is clearly only one candidate with the gift of foresight and the courage to call attention to what he sees. Andrew Yang.
