This automation wave will kick millions of white-collar workers to the curb in the next 12-18 months. Millions of Americans of every walk of life are about to see their way of life threatened.

Quote attributed to Andrew Yang (2026): "This automation wave will kick millions of white-collar workers to the curb in the next 12-18 months. Millions of Americans of every walk of life are about to see their way of life threatened." The source_url (fortune.com) returns HTTP 403; I also tried the apparent primary source (Yang's own blog post "The End of the Office" at blog.andrewyang.com) which likewise returns 403. Web search strongly corroborates: Newsweek, Futurism, AOL, Fortune headline, and Yang's own blog all report this Feb 2026 warning and reproduce the exact phrasing "kick millions of white-collar workers to the curb" within "12 to 18 months." Attribution, year (2026), and the "for" vote on statement 224 ("Implement a universal basic income") all align — UBI is Andrew Yang's signature policy and the article ties his warning directly to a renewed UBI push. Marking ai_unverifiable only because both candidate source URLs block automated access; corroborating evidence indicates the quote is genuine and accurate.
