The US did not start this war. Putin/Russia started this war by an unprovoked attacks on Ukraine. It is a Ukrainian decision for conscription, the US and Europe are just helping arm and train them.

Any peace deal requires a return of Ukrainian lands to Ukraine because the last time Ukraine accepted the loss of Crimea, Putin reneged on his word and attacked again.

Are you talking about Guantanamo? While it’d be ironic for a white right-wing facist to be sent there, I wouldn’t consider it “justice”.

If we had a competent unbiased judicial system he’d be in jail for this already.

I’m talking about increased taxes for each additional home so that owning more than 2 or 3 homes becomes financially unviable. This causes an incentive to sell if you own a lot and prevents someone wanting to own a lot in the first place.

It’s not a cap on rent it’s a cap on raising it. Not much different than setting interest rates imo. I don’t know enough law about it but at least it’s an attempt? There’s a lot of talk here about how it doesn’t solve the underlying problem but I don’t see people providing another solution.

I’d like to see property taxes increased with more single family homes owned. Let businesses keep the apartments let homes become a place to live and not an investment though.

If this caps rent even if the tenant changes it’d be something. I don’t see how this passes an R house or gets through the “moderate” Dems in the senate.

Yeah, they’re definitely glossing over a lot of things. They don’t even mention the source of co2 or even a real timeline.

I thought that Millennials would do this after the Bush era and the 08 financial crisis. I was wrong. Republican brainwashing and propaganda is extremely strong and the lack of a stronger leftist representation makes it difficult to get much will to vote. I hope you’re right but I’m also not gonna hold my breath.

Considering his usual word salad that could be true. Considering he’s a liar, who knows.

If he does then it has to be there, if he doesn’t then other speakers could.

It’s quite obvious at a theoretical level but not easy in terms of figuring out the actual process. A lot of science like that.
