I've talked to the rich, and they say there's not enough rich to go around, I'm truly sorry, so let's try something else okay?

There's not enough resources for us to help everyone who needs help, that's why we have to let 1% of the population have 40% of what little wealth there is.

If we actually got rich people to pay more of a share and used that money to fix problems, the problems would go away, and then we wouldn't be able to be smugly superior about how we can't fix those problems and that wanting to fix those problems means people are naive children.

Dead Reckoning posted:Oh cool, all we need to do is totally re-orient our economy without any of the corruption, waste and violence that normally accompanies such affairs. Your argument seems to be "humans can't do this, therefore any argument suggesting humans need to do this must be wrong" when in fact the conclusion you would be reaching if you could think rationally, is "the human race is doomed". And this may actually be the case, but it's not very helpful.

Glad to see DR is as lovely in other threads that aren't the CA politics thread. Dude argued that California would have as much bargaining power as Vermont to negotiate lower medicine prices if we implemented single payer here, so obviously socialists should just sit the gently caress down and listen to the centrist and conservative adults in the room. And it wasn't even close to the dumbest thing he's argued for in there.

I've got a new job on my radar but it's still less than I was making. There's no way I can afford that. I am broke, black and living the Detroit/Rust Belt struggle. I'm still using a Warp with a cracked screen from a few years ago. That sounds really cool though!

Your Sunday morning Virginia politics update: The walks are ratcheting up. The number one question is no longer "oh, there's an election?" We are now at "Which one is the Democrat?" 42 people came out to walk for the governor's race, and we're starting to work for Elizabeth Guzman in the House of Delegates race. People are starting to wonder what the candidates stand for as well, and that's where it's fun to watch released staff learn. It's not enough to repeat 1-3 talking points that the home office in Richmond provides. You have to know what your guy is for. You read this thread, so you know that and I know that - you can't just say "the other guy is a shmuck, vote for me!" Teaching people how to use their own story to explain why their guy is their guy is everything. My job next week is to train / retrain everyone in the office to speak like a human and knock on doors like they're people, not just marching band teens with a script. Side note: actually ran into marching band teens in Fairfax County yesterday. They were rehearsing their speech while walking to the next door. We had a laugh about it. Door knocking is hilarious and awesome. Democracy is awesome. Getting people to get down for a cause is awesome. Last round of polling has Northam +6, and the Kochs responded with a $2 million ad buy. Northam apparently had a response to said ad buy ready to go, as VA Dems often do; they've even tactically positioned the response to run immediately after the Koch attack ads. It's kind of amazing. The north is feeling upbeat. 51 days to go.

Xae posted:Yes. It's also worth pointing out that there's also a risk of paying of the economy growing unexpectedly and the government paying off too much of its debt. T-Bills are a very important bedrock in the modern economy and not having enough on-hand to use as collateral can lead to problems like the 2008 crisis.

Your Boy Fancy posted:Your Sunday morning Virginia politics update: I did some door knocking for kathryn rehner here in MS for this last special election, but she got creamed by like 700 votes (1500 to 800) and there'll be a runoff. She's almost certain to lose but it was cool to get out there and meet so many people that at least said they were gonna vote for her. A significant number of the doors I knocked on wound up being black people who supported rehner but couldn't vote because of past convictions.  not one white person said this to me. Thanks, totally-not-racist state of mississippi!

Last year was a bit of a bellwether for that up here. McAuliffe tried to restore rights to every felon who'd served their time and completed parole, and the state Supreme Court sided with the GOP saying he couldn't do that...but he could absolutely do it on a case by case basis. So the motherfucker sat down for a little while every day restoring people by hand, one by one. Two good friends got to vote because of that. May you find a candidate dedicated to the cause enough to do some poo poo like that. MS is a crazy place (had a job down in Greenville for half a year), but there's a ton of good people that I still love to bits. And who knows? World's gone mad. Maybe you'll even win. Good luck at any rate.

I'm hoping that Jim Hood (MS state AG, pretty darn progressive dem actually) runs for and wins the mississippi governorship in 2018. It would be such a big deal, because when he came to speak in my town he said his priorities would be things like immediately expanding medicaid, raising the minimum wage, etc on top of common sense things that are essentially apolitical but the GOP refuses to do because they're horrible shitheads. I don't know if he has a real chance but I liked him a lot and I will be happy to canvass for him when the time comes.

There is a good chance that it will lose a lot of power from Hispaniola or Cuba, and there is a good chance that it will go out to see. But yeah, it could be pretty bad. At this point it can do anything from hitting New Orleans as a Cat 5 to turning into a tropical storm and just curving Northeast.
