Presidential candidate Andrew Yang will use 3D holograms for remote rallies
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang revealed this week that he's planning to use a 3D hologram to hold campaign rallies in multiple cities at the same time. Yang discussed the hologram during an appearance on TMZ Live. The segment showed off a hologram version of Yang dancing and performing with the famous Tupac hologram that appeared at Coachella in 2012.
[...] Yang plans to use the hologram, broadcast from the back of a truck, to deliver a recorded version of his stump speech to crowds in battleground states. Yang would set up in a studio and remotely beam into the rally to answer questions live and in real-time after the speech finished. The technique could save Yang, a longshot for the Democratic nomination at this point, a considerable amount of travel costs while helping to rally supporters and generate interest in key areas.
In the future, all politicians will attend events exclusively as holograms, beamed from their studios in Elysium.

And my point is that UBI is an idiotic idea. When are you morons going to finally get the clue and realize that our corporate overlords will never hand out free stuff to the unwashed masses? And even if they were dumb enough to try it, it would end up being an unmitigated economic disaster. Unfortunately, the future is far more likely to be "Hunger Games" than UBI. Seriously, some of you younger folks would probably do best if you stay in good physical shape so that you have the best possibility of surviving in the gladiator ring; you have a much better chance with that strategy than begging the 1%-ers for UBI. I just hope I am long dead before this shit hits the fan.
Actually, it only begins to makes sense if you get rid of the UBI part of his platform. Just sayin'.
