incidentally watching RTJ turn into the unofficial soundtrack of the left has been pretty awesome because it means that all these old dudes keep winding up on stage with Killer Mike and El-P and its like "yeah we should do more good things and fewer bad things. now heres a song about cunnilingus"

frankly i think this kind of discourse should be more widely adopted

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I can already see the neolib challenger's campaign ad interspersing shots of Keith singing "money, that's what I want" between Very Serious calls for lower taxes and eliminating wasteful government data centers.

Even the Democratic Party isn't stupid enough to try to primary one of their very few safe house seats from the right.

When they're happy about something good happening it turns into an endearing dorky-dad thing instead of an infuriating student-council-president thing

Yeah. I mean, it could be just because he's my Congressman and one of the few political representatives I have ever had that I wasn't completely ashamed of (imagine living in Bob Goodlatte's district for like thirteen years), but Ellison is one of those rare politicians who is either really sincere or really good at faking it, and no one who's that good at faking it would be so comfortable being dorky in public.

Oh, I know, and, again, Ellison's is probably one of the safest seats in Congress (which is amazing for a black Muslim) but I've gotta Suck Zone it up a little, right?

I haven't read that much about the nuts and bolts, but it looks like it's being phased in through 2024, faster for large businesses (and franchises are qualified as large businesses).

So faster than some proposals I've heard, but not exactly overnight.

She flipped a long time republican district. Essentially she pulled an Ossof but won so her extremely bland unpopular centrism is unsurprising. She plays it up big that she cares a lot about national security but when the people I work with told her that a large part of that is reigning in corporations and reforming acquisitions she suddenly got real silent

Funny how the studies of Seattle's minimum wage hike have simultaneously shown that everything is fine and also that it's total financial apocalypse. (May not be precise study results.)

Regardless of anything else, we had quite a few Fight For 15 protests/marches around here last year, and it's great to have something new to throw in the "mattering" column.

he's gonna get a primary challenge from the right, and probably also the left, and also from crazytown, because it's a safe dem seat and that's what happens there

I only learned this recently but apparently "economy" originally referred to balancing a family budget, and we used the term "political economy" to refer to national/international stuff. :eng101:
