People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.
This is not a hot take.
It's just plain common sense.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
Why am I telling you this?
In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"
The mo' you know

There's all this post election disecting of the election and why Trump won and it's largely ridiculous.
Harris did nearly as well as Biden in swing states or BETTER and lost all of them because Trump ran up the score with rural and suburban white voters
Aka: racism and sexism

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
