Yang Gang --
Over the past several years, Cyber Monday has become a landmark holiday for Americans looking for deals on electronics, clothing, and other consumer products.
Experts are predicting that Americans will spend nearly $10 billion online today -- a huge increase over last year -- with most of that money going straight to companies like Amazon and other online retailers.
These trends are why 30% of America’s malls and stores will close over the next five years. With retail being one of the most common jobs in the country, what are the millions of retail workers going to do when their jobs are displaced by robots in fulfillment centers?
These are the questions we need to be asking. Our leaders need to be grappling with these issues and I’m running for president because I can see that they are not. They don’t want to think about problems that they don’t have solutions for.
Here’s the bottom line: We’re not going to block technological progress, but we can make sure that all gain from it. I’ve put forward a series of proposals that would allow Americans to share in the bounty of the 21st century economy.
If you agree that Amazon and other companies sucking up billions of dollars in commerce need to pay their fair share, please add your name and let’s send a message that we’re ready for a new set of rules in our economy.
Imagine a future in which all Americans benefit from the gains of days like Cyber Monday. Imagine a society where retirement-age men and women aren’t forced to work grueling hours to make ends meet -- sometimes even during the holidays.
This future is possible. We just need to push ourselves to think harder and make it a reality. I’m running for president because I know we can do so much better by our people.
Thank you for putting Humanity First,
