Policies @AndrewYang had on his platform that he was ridiculed or made fun of for having, that we're now getting to say #YangWasRight about is astounding.
See thread for each I've noticed so far.

2) Fighting the rise of White Nationalism and Domestic Terrorism
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/fight-white-nationalism-extremism/
Ex. The 16yo boy in WI and all of the various "militia" groups like the Proudboys/Boogaloo/KKK

4) Modernize Voting
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/modernize-voting/
The issues we are having right now with voting, both from an accessibility standpoint and, during this year in particular, risk of Covid19. We need to improve access to voting (personally I think it should follow Australia's system)
7) American Mall Act
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/american-mall-act/
Our stores are closing at an alarming rate due to covid19, significantly speeding up the death of retail. 42% won't return. As jobs get automated, stores close & we get more blight in neighborhoods and decrease of investment and growth
8) Preventative Care & Food Security https://www.yang2020.com/policies/preventative-care-and-food-security/
Food insecurity has had a major spotlight shined on it through this pandemic. Food pantries are overrun, and people with food stamps are having an even harder time, since grocery delivery services don't accept WIC/EBT
9) Move to Higher Ground
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/move-to-higher-ground/
We must move away from coastlines. Climate change has increased the # of superstorms & disaster level weather happening across the country (& world) & the ever-increasing repeated cost of rebuilding is wasteful. See #HurricaneLaura
11) Invest in Telehealth & improve access to Drs
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/investing-in-telehealth/
https://www.yang2020.com/policies/expanding-medical-licensure/
This one's obvious, as Covid19 has shown us how access to healthcare is extremely necessary. The tech and access improvements over the past 6mo should have been happening for 6+ years
