I kind of like this guy, he seems to be getting very involved in American day-to-day affairs and shows general good awareness. what i like about him most about Cuban is that he's not so finger pointy and more of 'this is how i would fix/handle this' type guy

Mark Cuban:
"It's time for trickle up economics. We need a transitional fed jobs program that trains and hires millions for a federal tracking/tracing/testing program as well as for support for at risk populations including long term care. We need to dent unemployment with stable jobs."

The plan and definition of "trickle up economics" is to use millions of Americans for a giant federal gov't tracking program for an endemic virus with an overall 0.26% IFR (infection fatality rate) and a 0.05% IFR in 0-49 y/o.

No thanks.

He needs to focus on making sure Luka and KP have the right supporting cast to bring Dallas another championship.

Cuban is a billionaire btw so progressives again wouldn't like him.

Cuban doesn't seem to be knowledgeable beyond economics/business and sports. Don't think he knows or understands much about foreign policy or much of domestic policy. Imagine him trying to talk about gun issues or healthcare or social security or South China Sea. He will be clueless.. Not like Trump knows much of anything about those topics or Biden in his current state so I guess we will be right where we are now.

Cuban is a true entrepreneur though

Trump is just an investor of daddy's capital

If you want a foreign policy wizard the only real careers in that are lifelong politician or ex-cabinet members.

In the state the countries in right now i'd rather have one specialised in homeland necessities. Which is why I originally voted Trump because I was under the impression he would hire competent white house staff. Didn't think it would actually turn out to be a real life revolving door of the Apprentence

Cuban came along right when the dotcom bubble was taking off. Sold his company and made a fortune. He also made a fortune out of hedge investing right around the time the dotcom bubble burst. Good businessmen and investor. Unfortunately, whenever he gets interviewed, he sticks close to business and sports. I have never seen any of his answers or responses diverge away from those 2 areas. But to be fair, I do want someone to ask him about things outside of his area of expertise sometime just to see how he responds.

I don't think Cuban will run for president just based off the personal well being it took on Bush jr, Obama and now Trump

Even running for office is a major sacrifice to you and your family, being president of the USA nowadays is public suicide. At least those 4 years of term you serve

Cuban has a pretty comfortable public opinion right now of him, IDK if he's confident enough to remove himself from that. He's got quite a good amount of residual income now to finally take the leap

His first order of "business" is to create a giant federal gov't program and hire millions of Americans to track citizens for a virus that has an IFR of 0.3%. :lol


Though... having some business experience helps. A lot of these politicians never had a real job, so their idea of business owners is that they all have hoards of cash lying around, which dictates their policy-making.
"Let's raise the minimum wage to $20/hr so those greedy business owners pay their employees fairly," and "Eh, just shutdown your business for a few days.. weeks... months, or whenever we change our mind. It's for your safety."

The idea of having a business owner is that they understand how regulations affect running their business and when lawmakers pass a regulation - behavior pre and post regulation isn't the same. Behavior changes.

They also understand that business and free market capitalism is the reason why western countries are strong - not government. And the cultural effects of a businessman are better than some power hungry lawyer or activist who tries to solve every perceived crisis.

The thing is these billionaire businessmen use regulation to their advantage. The first thing the sharks ask is “do you have a patent”? Lol. They are for regulating shit to their benefit just as much as anyone else.

Yeah, that's why I said it helps. A lot of these politicians never had a real job; they sat in a classroom for 20 years and then began their career in politics/gov't

Most politicians have a law degree, during Obama's term 168 Reps and 57 Sen had law degrees

More than half of all US presidents had theirs as well

The most common steps to political office: lawyer/attorney --> city/district judicial affiliates --> local government position --> state --> federal

I'll rephrase. A lot of these politicians never had a job where they gain first-hand experience understanding how regulations affect businesses. Creating a law is one thing; working in a business where that law affects its behavior is another.

I disagree

Handling civil cases as an attorney puts you in the most credential position of understanding city code or business regulations.

When you file chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy who do you hire, a lawyer

See any lawyer and they'll always have their MBA degree framed behind them, combining business and law generally reflects the real world and shapes your network.

Just the cliche "not a real job" concept if you're a politician

There's career steps to becoming a democratically voted in government position

And most don't exclude having a minimum wage job when they were 14-22yo

That's fine. It's not a strong opinion of mine, but I've seen first-hand in the real world what happens when people who don't work in an industry create a law for that industry.

The reality is not what they had in mind and it looks completely different in practice.

What’s completely false is that all business owners are against regulations. Lol. Most understand what regulations hurt them and help them so they play both sides of the fence using government when they need too just like everyone else. I used to be in the auction business and you’d be surprised where auctions are the most regulated. More conservative states like Tennessee, Ohio, and Texas. Places where they have long established auction scenes so they regulate the shit out of anyone trying to come in and compete. People act like regulations are there to protect the consumer. No they are there to protect businesses from competition most of the time.

MBA is education though - not real world business experience.

Going back to my post one may notice I never said being lawyer is a bad thing. I never said you need to have a real job to be a good politician.

I said having some business experience helps, meaning that if you're going to make laws on how a business operates, then it is helpful to have experience in... how a business operates.

He would certainly run as a Democrat. He is a pretty liberal guy so his platform would be pretty liberal. He would probably be a bit hands off when it comes to laws concerning businesses, which I'm sure Republicans would support but Republicans would be heavily opposed from social perspective.

No thank you. He is WAY too left leaning. This country can ill-afford to have another leftist back in the White House. After Trump wins this November there will still be work to be done even after he has 4 more years. He had us well on the way to being great again but this virus overreaction has hurt this country badly. He got really bad advise from people like Fauci and pushed shut downs that were un-needed that have truly hurt this country. The damage done will take longer than 4 more years to fix. I think Donald Trump Jr. will be running in 2024 and he will have my vote.
