As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

“Bernie Blackout” is about the 2020 primary, but still worth a watch. It’s a Vice documentary showcasing how many stops the establishment pulled out to stop his run for the presidency.

Right, part of my point is that the response of the left should be “we don’t think you should starve.” Rather than “we don’t think you should starve *as long as you work*”

Some, sure, but I’ve seen a lot of the (American, maybe) “left” with the take that automation is bad, because “how else will workers earn their living?” It lacks imagination.

Absolutely, I’m just wishing the left had more teeth 🫠

Does AI taking artists’ lunch suck? Yes, but the problem is capitalism, not automation.

Force the conservative position to be “we think you should have to work for a living.”

The original position cedes this as a foregone conclusion, that we’re stuck under capitalism.

It’s not a tax on millionaires and calling it that is right wing propaganda. I will die on this hill.

It is a tax on annual income >$1M. You have to become a millionaire from scratch each year in order to pay anything. Being a millionaire alone isn’t taxed!!!

This is the way to phrase it. That part should be in the headline

Zoning is mostly if not entirely at the city, maybe county level. The major exception is roads, which largely fall under the state’s jurisdiction (afaik)

It was a 2011 study so that checks out.

There’s also this, from Utah’s Department of Environmental Quality, (ostensibly more recently) claiming 1 3.5hp gas mower is equivalent to 11 new cars
