The other problem is that the new jobs that are created will be in smaller numbers than the jobs that are being lost.

AI Verified ai_verified: The Los Angeles Times page at the provided URL is a transcript of an editorial-board interview published Aug. 14, 2019, and it labels the speaker as "Yang." At lines 434–435, Andrew Yang says the exact sentence: "The other problem is that the new jobs that are created will be in smaller numbers than the jobs that are being lost."

AI Unverifiable Source URL (LA Times) returned HTTP 403, blocking direct fetch. Web search confirms Andrew Yang consistently argued during his 2019 presidential campaign that automation and AI will destroy more jobs than they create. The specific quote about "new jobs created will be in smaller numbers than the jobs that are being lost" is consistent with his well-documented views from 2019. The vote is correctly shared with his other opinion (against) on statement 389. Year (2019) is old but accurately reflects when the quote was made. Author attribution is correct. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 1mo ago
AI Unverifiable Quote attributed to Andrew Yang (2019) about new jobs being created in smaller numbers than jobs lost. The source URL is an LA Times opinion article from Aug 14, 2019. The LA Times blocks automated fetching so the exact text cannot be directly verified. However, this sentiment is consistent with Yang's well-documented 2019-2020 presidential campaign messaging about automation and job displacement. The author already has a more recent verified 2026 quote (opinion 9436). Vote "against" is correctly aligned. Year 2019 is correct. Quote remains relevant to statement 389. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 1mo ago
