Yeah, rent control isn't the solution people think it is. It turns out markets are high because of demand and supply. Not solely due to greed. What we need is more housing and to delete nimbyism.
This isn't how we got here. The people that don't vote tend to be left leaning. Republicans do vote, in mass. I fail to see how thinking not voting/voting third party is how we got here.
People like to say this, and I get it, I get the controversy, and I get why, but Florida was a statistical tie. A thousand recounts would have ended at the same spot of more infighting. The supreme Court was conservative leaning and decided in favor of the conservative to no one's surprise. If the supreme Court was 5-4 liberal, Gore would have won.
The whole issue is so much more two sided than people realize. For example, the person who invented the butterfly ballots was a Democrat politician.
I am not personally in favor of the court's ruling, I wish Gore had won. The world would be a MUCH better place without GWB having won the presidency.
I'll say the same thing to you as I did the other guy.
What until you hear about the war crimes of authoritarians. Just recently we have Assad gassing his own people, Russia stealing children, stealing land, and filling mass graves in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia murdering a journalist with a hacksaw. Bush may have started an illegitimate war, but the US military is comparatively very good when it comes to avoiding civilian casualties.
Yeahhhhh, having a failing power grid ain't great for tech, banning abortion doesn't make tech workers happy, plus the myriad of other issues. I can see why their state is losing tech workers.
It took me so long to learn the IMF is a profit driven private organization, which is wild. I wish it was a UN run public organization to help uplift nations in economic trouble.
If anyone's curious he's talking in terms of 9/11s per capita. Americans will use anything but metric.
