Hedge Funds are cancer
politics aside for a minute

Private Equity ownership is the reason we can't have nice things

They buy something good, and squeeze all the goodness out of it, screwing the people and killing products and services, for their profit.

Now they're buying rental homes, vet clinics, UTILITIES and more.

How many votes does it take to change the Senate's legislative filibuster rule to pass whatever the majority wants?
51 votes.
The GOP has 53 votes, two more than they need to pass the continuing funding resolution, right now. ZERO Democratic votes are needed. To frame it otherwise is dishonest.

The proposed warning system was $980,000. Kerr County has the 2nd highest concentration of millionaires per capita in the state. The legislature had a $24B surplus going into the last session. James Avery jewelry, headquartered in Kerrville just pledged $1M for relief! This was a deliberate choice.
