Teachers are very educated and yet have very low wages. The problem is not that workers are not skilled enough, it is that system isn't giving them their fair share. All the profit goes to the rich, while poor are getting poorer.

Videos from this channel, "What is politics?" exactly explain that those governments that are calling themselves left, where right wing rich politicians pretending to be left wing. And leftist at the time, called them out on it multiple times. But it just ended with them in jail. Every dictatorship is right wing by definition. Having an excuse that you will be a nice king, doesn't make a you a leftist. The excuse of those regimes was that they will only be there for a while, after which they will disolve the state completely. That autoritarianism is just temporary. Of course, that day never came and instead they focused on propaganda that redifined what being left is, which is very common in history.

Maybe people with bad credit scores? If everyone can afford it, why make it into a bill? Is it just marketing for politicains so they can just pretend they are doing something about it, or are they actively discriminating from the poor.

Didn't democrats vote in executive power for president during Obama administration so the president can act on their own? Kinda funny how democrats complain republicans are authoritarian, when they give presidents power of kings.

All presidents used executive power for lesser reasons. These are just PR games for naive voters.

It is only definition that makes sense. There is a good video about it. If you shift power back to the people that are a working class, or in other words, if it promotes equality in decision-making power, than it is a left-wing policy. If it is a law that gives more power to the ruling/capitalist/rich class, it is a right-wing policy.

This bill is making it legal to favor the rich. They can stop everyone and ask for papers, but those who represent the interest of the capitalist class will be able to have them, while the working class won't.

He ain't gonna do shit. It would hurt his rich buddies.

Politicians are all words no action, when it helps the poor. When it helps the rich, they don't say a word, just silently pass a bill.

Because he can then actually do something about it. This way politicians can just pretend they are on the side of the working class, while passing bills that only benefit the rich and hurt us.

If they could, they would. Laws aren't passed because it makes sense, but because they benefit the rich.
