The worst crackdown in recent memory on welfare happened under Clinton and the neolibs. I think both of these groups have examples of doing the things you've listed.
I appreciate your insights but respectfully disagree as there are examples of your listed priorities across party lines.
The end part is right. The same billionaires and companies pay both sides campaign bills. Which is why they're basically the same economically.
Biden is performing theater about doing that. When was the last time dems actually managed a significant wealth tax? LOL
It is pure theater. If anything like that ever got close to passing, and the paid actors Sinema snd Mansion weren't enough, then they'd just pick another actor or two so the dems could pretend they really wanted to but no matter how much power they have its not possible to actually DO something.
There are no liberal counterparts. The billionaires are all capitalists. That's all there is to it. Any other political theater they perform for you playing left and right is just theater.
Dems and Republicans are identical parties on economic policy (note I said economic, not all policies).
Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
Expand and pack the court
Push a court case that it was their duty.
Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
withhold all federal funds to any state who's senator was blocking it
Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they're in the minority
BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It's all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.
There's a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.
Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.
Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.
Billionaires have paid BOTH Republicans and Democrats for this legal victory. It's another reason Obama didn't fight hard for his pick, and why the dems didn't stop Drunky McRape from getting a seat.
Theater was fine, but this is what all those campaign "donations" (read bribes) were for.
Game changer for people who can't stand controllers, and for all the great non controller designed games on games pass. Can't wait!
