Even if people do understand the tax bill the next logical question is "ok so we've known for 8 years taxes were about to fuck anybody making less than 250k a year while the rich people get to keep their tax cuts, what have you been doing in that nearly decade long stretch."

Funny how whenever libs list all of bidens accomplishments "killing the metoo movement overnight" isn't on the list.

It was actually going strong then a powerful Democrat got accused and that shit got shut down hard and fast.

If you've spent your entire life practicing hiding under desks for when some incel tries to murder you and all your friends while the government refuses to do anything and then that same government takes away something you and all your friends like and tells you it's to protect your safety, when it's really obvious it's just so American companies can ruin it and fuck you over, jihad seems like a pretty modest proposal.

It doesn't really matter who is buying the properties and charging more money to live there than people make. It's just an example of how streamlined the process of "just build more houses" being ineffective has become.

We need to build houses but they need to be explicit subsidized lower income housing and then once that hurdle is cleared you need to be able to push back against the corporations that want to buy them AND the 80% of Americans who don't believe people intrinsically deserve a place to live.

Hitler loved dogs after all.

Ya know until material conditions came knocking and he tested his cyanide supply ona dog to make sure he wouldn't have a painful death.

Oh so all of those good parts of history you were talking about are when they directly opposed Isreal and zionism isn't that interesting.

There's a deep history of American workers movements that doesn't mean the entire country doesn't deserve to be nuked from orbit.

This is kind of how I became a socialist.

Did a mission trip to Nicaragua when I was young, got home and wondered why the country was so fucked up.

"Oh, it's literally entirely America's fault, intentional, and their exact strategy for foreign relations which is just imperialism."

Imagine being so unappealing you lose to Trump then spend the next 8 years convincing yourself it's the voters who are wrong and doubling down on the strategy, even after Trump literally beats himself by killing 1.5 million people through mishandling a pandemic so you decide to do it again.

There's plenty of houses already. building houses doesn't work if the new house immediatly gets bought by an investment firm that rents it out for 1.5x the areas median income.

Built by who? Owned by who? What's stoping those homes from immediatly being bought up by investment capital and being rented out at the "fair market rate"?

Fucks sake I'm sick of the "I don't understand why they don't just..." solutions

They do if they're required by law to, otherwise way waste the money on things like preventative safety measures.
