I support sales taxes, but only on Juiceros and other products designed exclusively for rich idiots.

Sales tax should be pre-calculated into the shelf price.

Feldegast42 posted:Who is that favorite? How is the Iowa gubernatorial / congress races shaping up? Fred Hubbel, who is a wealthy businessman running on "I'm a wealthy businessman, but I support planned parenthood." It's a 7-way gov race and the state party delegates will decide the candidate if none of them gets above 35% of the vote in the primary. I know the congressional races in IA-2 and 3 each have multiple candidates competing in the primary at varying levels of acceptability. IA-1 has Loebsack as the incumbent and no primary challengers that I know of, and hes become pretty disappointing of late. Being in the 10 or so congressman to vote to proceed with budget negotiations without addressing DACA the first time, and then doubling down on that later.

Nationalizing housing seems to me to be a really tricky thing to do since housing is so inherently wildly unequal, but it's possible it just hasn't been explained well enough to me yet

New York alone has numbers from 60,000 to 100,000 homeless, and a tenth of the public schoolchildren are homeless all the while home buying is entirely automated as the finance class works to turn entire generations into lifelong renters. it’s an incredibly unsustainable system of depreciating standards of living that exists solely as an ever increasing wealth transfer from the poor and middle class to the rich. it’s criminal and a transitionary period of wiping the slate clean and gutting the rent seekers tyranny needs to take place before setting down incredibly strict regulations on home ownership, as people should have a piece of land to say is their’s and no one else’s to lord over them, as that stability is what has gone missing in modern America’s nightmarish hell where over half the country is wiped out by a $1000 emergency

A major succ of Oregon politics is housing politics. Portland has a massive homeless population despite tons of new housing being built. Most of it sits empty as it is considered an investment vehicle where offering market rates would lower it's long-term value. Pretty much all the house/senate Dems are landlords who talk about the need for affordable housing. Many of them push against the bills to lower moving costs for renters, improve renter protection, ban no-cause evictions, increase budgets for new affordable housing, etc in back channels to ensure their investment. They ultimately hide behind one or two 'moderate' democrats who believe in regulations will hurt 'supply'. Their solution is instead to build more housing that will sit empty because only a small selection of white tech bros can afford $2K+ rent/monthly mortgage for a fancy apartment/condo.
