The guy is so strange. I'll see great decisions from him for months, and then it's like he goes into a dungeon and randomly approves the opposite type of laws for awhile.

Chaotic.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's a liberal capitalist stooge. All of his decent-to-good policies are social, and virtually every financial or corporate decision is dogshit.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes. But God forbid anyone realizing someone can be socially left and economically right, or vice versa.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not that he can't be that, it's that it makes him a tool.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, at what point do we stop stating the obvious and focus on what is occulted?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When people realize you can do both.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently not. At any rate, the horse has been dead so long, all that's left are sun-bleached bones.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Bones are long gone. All you got now is sand.

You don't have to be economically left to recognize that what corporations have been doing for 30+ years now is an egregious privacy violation and antithesis to our constitutional ideology.

I didn't say that.

He’s always been surrounded by the wealthy and well-connected, and that’s who he listens to.

When he got caught breaking his state's own Covid restrictions at French Laundry, the fanciest of wait list fancies in Napa wine country, it's all you needed to know.

Just depends on how big the ~~bribe~~ lobbying effort is.
