When governments can win power with 30% to 40% of the vote, long term planning suffers. Big promises get torn up after every election.
Proportional representation rewards policies that can survive change because they are backed by a real majority.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.

I suspect a Venn diagram of people who are pouring out cans of Campbell's soup, in protest of "3-D printed meat," and people who support Trump, who has gutted and neutered the FDA that is supposed to protect them, is damn near a circle.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

50-year mortgages would effectively eliminate home ownership for all but the wealthy. It is a monumentally harmful ploy by the financial elite to defraud the middle class of generational wealth.

I guess targeting "violent gang members" wasn't really their top priority, then. 🤔
“In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, Justice Dept. officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by US law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world’s most deadly gangs.”
