The mere fact that we can stop scorching the earth for lithium and cobalt is enough.

Conservatives love to say free market works, shop for best price, blah blah… When you are having a heart attack, you don’t stop 911 from sending help until you shop around for the best ambulance service… You take the closest one, go to the closest hospital, and get service from the doctor on call.

Fuck insurance, we should have Medicare for all by now.

So how about that COVID business loan money… Oh we ain’t getting that back.

How about the auto bailout money… Not seeing that back either

How about the bank bailouts from 16 years ago. Gotcha, also not getting that back.

You, random student, we will get that 40k back from you if it takes 50 years.

I tried running a forum… With 24 hours I had 10k posts for Russian porn… And I followed best practices to set it up.

Article says some states may refuse to participate. Well since it’s a program that helps people and provides a free option instead of using a corporate tax preparer, then I assume all GOP states will hate it and call it liberal socialism somehow. Betcha we hear the same argument we get with healthcare … " The libs want to force you to use this and take away your ability to choose"

They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…

So Biden should just shoot Trump… Let the courts decide if it’s an official act or not, delay delay, appeal to the supreme Court like all these decisions will be, and Biden may have shrugged of this mortal coil by the time all that happens

Before, his power was checked by legislature…but now GOP has full control over the gov, and the supreme Court has 5 members nominated by Trump, soon to be 7.

Hand maidens tale seems possible. Destruction of the middle class through tariffs, union busting, tear down of heath coverage, teardown public schools, force colleges to abandon certain studies or no federal money…

Add in non stop fossil fuel promotion with drill baby drill attitudes, tear down NOAA and the nhc because strong hurricane news reinforces climate change.

I guarantee in 4 years Trump will try to name a successor instead of holding an election.
