Fortune’s February 25, 2026 article does not contain the submitted wording; it quotes Yang instead as saying, “I believe that millions of white-collar workers are going to lose their jobs in the next 12 to 18 months due to AI.” Yang’s own February 16, 2026 Substack post, “The End of the Office,” contains both submitted sentences, but they appear in different parts of the post (first at line 31, second at line 51), so the version provided is a stitched composite rather than a single verbatim quote.

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.
