The people who still call me “Mr Mayor” around town are almost entirely grocery workers, crossing guards, and bus operators. I take that as a sign of success in what I wanted to do with my brief time in politics, but then again I lost after one term. In short, idk, go volunteer to knock on doors.
right. given the numbers, “how to win back the working class” should be as much about care and service workers as hard hats. and yet.

“Some California landlords have tried to get away with illegal rent increases by shifting utilities and other fees to tenants and pretending those new charges are not ‘rent’ under the TPA. That violates the law.”
