nobody fuckin knows whats in it because all the media has been talking about for the past six months is that it's too dang expensive and that crazy wacky ocasio cortez wants a bunch of unrealistic hooey this wouldn't be a problem if the dems had any PR strategy beyond just relying on the media to carry water for them

LastInLine posted:Am I missing something or would it not be more effective to simply subsidize the cost of gasoline directly? Granted I wouldn't say that's a good idea, but if you specifically wanted to reduce the final cost of fuel why not just force retail outlets to price the good at x and then pay the difference they're losing buying wholesale? richard nixon had an even better idea of handling surging inflation when he was president where one day he just declared that nobody could increase their prices or wages on anything and that if the government found out you did then they would send goons to throw you in jail incredibly, prices not being allowed to increase somehow stopped inflation. i imagine economists remain baffled as to how this could have happened, since it's economics 101 that direct government intervention into pricing doesn't work

LastInLine posted:I'm aware and while I understand it's probably not a popular opinion I'd argue that Nixon's economic policies and unimplemented proposals were more sustainable than he's given credit for. They weren't all bangers, and his intentions were definitely sus, but taken on the whole they were far more beneficial to the average American than the neoliberal direction taken in the Reagan-to-Clinton era. price controls are an appropriate response to inflation. Not just for what we consider transient inflation like today's or the nixon era one but also for consistent and consistently insane levels of price increases that we've seen for the past several decades in medical costs, education, and housing. in fact, in countries where those things have remained affordable it's either through price controls or public ownership

Arent those all funded and produced by the cigarette industry as part of some self-policing awareness measure? I'd ask why not just fine the companies directly and then have people not entangled with the cigarette industry make the ads, but I know the answer would be some variation on the theme of corruption The anti-smoking ads you see are part of the big settlement (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agreement) that the government made with the tobacco industry that closed the case on the tobacco companies lying about nicotine being addictive and cigarettes causing cancer for decades. The tobacco companies have to pay money every year to the government and part of that money funds the anti smoking ad nonprofit (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Initiative)

vyelkin posted:I realize I'm preaching to the choir here but one of the most deranged aspects of the horse race approach to American politics is how every bit of news is always framed as a win or a loss for politicians and political parties and not a win or a loss for ordinary people. Child tax credit expired? That's a loss for Biden and for the Democrats' midterm chances! Not a loss for the millions of people thrown back into poverty, it's a win for the Republican Party! Abortion made illegal in most of the country? Sure, it'll affect millions of women, but what really matters is it's an opportunity to fundraise and get voters to the polls in November! It's loving sickening, and I'm certain it contributes to people's sense of politics as a team sport completely detached from reality rather than something with seismic consequences for ordinary people. when's the last time anyone in politics or the media ever spoke to or saw an ordinary person

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:if you think roe getting overturned is going to depress gop turnout then I'm sorry but the diagnosis is terminal democrat-brain and there is no cure. i don't think it's republican turnout they're thinking about, they're saying that now those lazy bums who don't vote in every election will come out and vote. They're still operating under the assumption that high turnout always helps democrats because marginal voting propensity voters are mostly democrats. This supposedly ironclad rule needs to be reconsidered because a substantial amount of newly activated voters started voting so they could vote for trump. For example, turnout in florida increased substantially in 2016 and again in 2020 and trump's margin of victory went up each time. in ohio, turnout increased drastically in 2020 relative to 2016, and trump's margin of victory stayed the same. there were of course states that biden got more new voters than trump, notably georgia and texas, but at best higher turnout is a mixed bag rather than a flat +democrat vote bonus

I know that's not technically how time works but it sure seems like it. they intended to do nothing and claim credit for the pandemic ending on its own and the economy rebounding and then when that plan ran into trouble they panicked and decided they needed to do nothing harder

It's just reporters spinning their wheels because they can't report on Biden like trump i could be remembering wrong but i thought the original reports were citing biden admin members involved in the discussions who spoke anonymously because the proposals were not yet finalized, which i generally interpret as intentional leak to gauge reactions

i remember during one of the debates there was a question to biden about what he would do about the novel coronavirus and he said that trump had done a terrible job and had no idea what he was doing, but that if joe were president he would take bold, decisive action of asking all the experts what they think and then do what they say (which is of course what trump was doing for the first few weeks before he defected to the side of the virus)

a better question than how is biden's approval rating lower than trump's, is how is biden's approval rating as high as it is? does 35% of the country really think he's doing a good job?

Subvisual Haze posted:To exercise real autocratic control you'd need to purge the bureaucracies. Which obviously Trump was too unfocused and lazy to even attempt to do. well, he did a pretty good job at purging the bureaucracies of a lot of professional bureaucrats that actually made the bureaucracy function without even trying by prompting mass resignations. He also facilitated the complete takeover of the ultimate political-bureaucratic authority by completing the takeover of the supreme court, which gave him and the republicans ultimate control over every facet of the bureaucracy (even moreso than the president who is nominally in control of the federal bureaucracy, since the court can overrule the president). e: oh you already mentioned the court
