Seattle, WA – The Yang Gang is rejoicing today after their leader Presidential hopeful Andrew Yang survived a life threatening bear attack.

Yang sustained minimal injuries after a bear ambushed him on his morning stroll, knocking him to the ground as it prepared to mangle him. Lucky for Yang, he had been carrying the one thing that could save him: a heavy stack of bills to the amount of one thousand dollars.

Yang, a large proponent of universal basic income, has been adamant about giving every person in the United States $1000 to help them in situations like this.

“The problem is not in the bear population, or peoples inability to stay out of bear habitats. The problem is that we need to give people the ability to protect themselves in a situation like this. We need to invest in the American people.” Yang said after the incident.

Yang has been quoted recently saying that a universal basic income is the answer to most of America’s problems at the moment. The thousand dollars could help victims of climate change move to higher ground, supplement their income if they lose a job to a robot and now could help beat off a vicious brown bear in the case of an attack.

With incidents like these, Yang is proving that Universal Basic Income is the answer to all of our problems.

The bear is expected to recover quickly.
