  • The best thing that Democrats can do is come up with a popular governing vision and then storm back in the 2026 midterms.

    Personally I would think this would have to compromise on immigration and the worst culture war excesses of the left, while emphasizing support for the working class and most importantly good governance.

  • Vermont tried for a version of universal healthcare about 10 years ago, and they decided the cost was too high.

    Every state has a program for poor people that's in part funded by Federal tax dollars.

    You also have to address the free rider problem by vesting benefits in.

  • He had albinism, next question

  • This is completely incoherent. An "industry" does not have the ability to ruin people's free expression.

    Anyone who wants to create something for other people, without asking for anything in return, is still free to do so. And I assume they are (at least, they are in niche communities - I don't know of a gonewild equivalent but I know of people who make games for fun and they're not hard to find, either).

    It's sad that so many people have taken a cheap payout in the most crass possible way, but all that means is that you need to look harder for the content you want.

  • At a certain point you're at a local maxima and incremental changes just don't work. They have to be big changes to knock off the hill to another valley and then society has to do the hill climbing again. Sucks and painful but no other way IMO.

    Okay, so Luigi didn't cut healthcare costs. Did you working with people locally cut healthcare costs?

    I volunteer in a few things in my neighborhood but I basically do it for warm fuzzies and because I want to make/keep my neighborhood nice. I don't have any aspirations that it'll become grander.

  • When you allow people to buy things freely - in this case a limited resource - this was inevitable. Nothing to do with capitalism, i.e. private ownership of means of production. It would have happened under any system in which people can spend their money on whatever they want.

  • One thing to remember is that Trump is at the peak of his popularity right now. It's all downhill.

  • Remember they have cameras

  • People don't want to organize around homeless outreach, that's why the huge, costly, and incessant efforts in most cities never turn into literally any useful political action. Most people are more selfish than that, and it's also unclear how giving away donated food and socks translates to anything, anywhere else, in society.

    Parents/teacher groups and labor unions are a lot closer to the mark because that stuff has actual impact on the people involved. Although I'm skeptical - the parent/teacher zeitgeist is now one of conflict after the COVID school closures. But it's a place to get traction.

    The old school anarchists used grand acts of violence, i.e. propaganda of the deed. Luigi tried that, seems to have dissipated.

    Everyone's just rich enough to not care about shit like this any more.

  • Green subsidies and techno-futurists made this guy the richest man on earth, hope you all are happy.

  • This entire thread is bubble people threatened by peeking outside their bubble.

  • $10/mo is nothing. Whatever search you use today, you are paying in other ways.

  • We're still here.

    Generation discourse honestly panders to the lowest common denominator intellect. People who constantly talk about boomers or millennials are usually pretty dumb.

    The reason you don't hear much about Gen X is "we" didn't cause anything culturally significant in an enduring when "we" were in our 20s.

  • Or maybe I just want to chat with people about my age

  • Oh FFS

  • I recommend therapy.
