Re: "if everyone is poor companies will suffer from lack of customers!"- iirc this isn't true, and what is happening are companies are starting to cater exclusively to 10%er whales while ditching cheaper markets altogether. I know in some cases "cheaper" options have gone away because margins are too low even if volumes are good. You see this especially in the auto market, why sell 3 budget cars when 1 "luxury" model sells for the same amount at a higher margin and is constantly backlogged?

They are going to do that, but arguably it also means a relatively shrinking market due to the fact there are only so many whales. Usually, severely unequal societies don’t prosper for long.

Doesn't McCarthy have some kind of gun pointed at him from the hard-core crazies? They got some rules package concessions that allow any of them to call a no confidence vote if he doesn't do exactly what they want?

They won't, but it would be available to them. Bernie said it was an executive order away in the 2020 campaign and he already had the language for it ready to go.

bernie said a lot of things lol. doesn't mean they were correct

besides, if the current method of debt cancellation is drawing scotus challenge, then so would an executive order. and the current scotus is even less likely to be OK with that.

There's a pretty solid foundation because Obama federalized student debt, but yeah the Supreme Court would undo anything. Maybe he could order deletion of all the records immediately to prevent court-ordered backtracking?

Imagine thinking the Dems are capable of even simple political maneuvers like this.

This is literally the reason the ACA is still a law after the entire GOP spent years running on getting rid of it.

No one is willing to do it because their constituents now have healthcare, alot don't even know that's what "Obamacare" is, but they will know who to blame when they suddenly lose it.

it’s filled with blanks. the vote of no confidence doesn’t occur the moment it’s filed and only the crazies will vote for it. if he’s lucky the democrats will fully abstain from the vote allowing him to claim that the gop conference supported and saved him. Otherwise it’ll just fail by like 4 against 431

The median rental price in Manhattan has topped $4,150 for the first time in Big Apple history, according to a jaw-dropping March market report compiled by brokerage Douglas Elliman and appraisers Miller Samuel.

Specifically, the study tallied a median rental price of $4,175 per month, which alone would set back city tenants $50,100 per year.

This would mean that the average New Yorker would need to earn a salary of at least $160,000 per year to get by.

Meanwhile, the average rental price hit a higher $5,115 per month.

Oh I'm sure they'll do that. But unless these dumbasses suddenly find a way to disprove the labor theory of value and use that knowledge to their advantage they will be up a creek if they abandon real power completely to live in their own little fake rear end world.

Maybe no one ever comes and invades the US, but if it keeps up like this they'll eventually be irrelevant like North Korea is today, except without even the possibility of pulling up by having trade open because no one is going to want their trash, especially when China will be producing better products at a lower price and is helping everyone who didn't decide to self destruct do so as well.

i know some people who have positions that they, and probably others, consider "prestigious" jobs, and they are getting forced out of manhattan

the reactions i get when i propose queens are always enjoyable. not one person has responded with interest.

i guess but it's not like queens is cheap though. I guess relative to manhattan it is

I have friends that live in queens and they take as long to get into manhattan as I do from Jersey
