Sigh, yes, the rapist was running as a progressive, even on military issues. Maine builds ships btw. I like(d) his policy positions, I think he's a very talented public speaker, but he's completely morally bankrupt. www.grahamforsenate.com/platform
It's silly, but so is pretending your idol isn't a mass murderer. The guy openly published kill orders. I'm not asking you to believe "western propaganda", I'm asking you to believe Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. You're a bad person. Just own it. You're pro-dictatorship.
Contractors figured this out a while ago. If an hour of your labor earns more than cooking your own food, it might make sense to get a taxi for your restaurant. Working class doesn’t necessarily mean poor.
Tom Steyer's friend Katrina Heron who formerly ran Wired magazine, used the title "US Editor in Chief". He not only was fine assuming she was a reporter, he likely had specific reason to not know she runs Wired.
Also, there's essentially only one true vanguard state left, Cuba, and China keeps telling them to go capitalist.
I'm mostly entertaining the idea that this unproductive rhetorically, but this is what I believe, and that I think most people believe as well. That if you teach people to bully, they will be bullies. We should avoid producing bullies no matter the gender. Nurture is absolutely a thing.
@acabcalloway.bsky.social So as you can see, Yimbyism is a huge success in the People's Republic of China. I'm really sorry if this is how you found out China is capitalist, this part tends to be really upsetting for some leftists.
Oh no, I have that you're accusing Baldwin and Paulauski of being transmisogynists. Then you didn't produce any evidence.
"This is what China does. The Peoples Republic of China has had capitalist landlords and developers again since the ~70s. You can even buy shares of land lording companies like Kerry Properties Ltd on the Shanghai Stock Exchange" Sorry, just thought I'd migrate my 2024 China housing thread over:
"Does this mean we shouldn’t try to build public housing or do housing first policy? Absolutely not. We should support public housing and section 8 expansion, but we can’t rely on only public housing, as the last actual vanguard socialist state has done to catastrophic outcomes."
It makes this man, Robert Kuok, very wealthy at ~11 billion USD of value. If you don’t have luxury housing, your upper economic classes will absolutely displace would-be renter stakeholders in the levels below them. This is why tech workers in the bay area rent dilapidated housing at absurd premiums
"Building luxury housing as China has also done does in fact lower the cost of housing across the board. This is smallest 300 sqm apartment luxury apartment available at the Kerry Residence overlooking the Beijing skyline. It costs ~4500 USD and includes service staff (servants)." -Me, 2024
"This isn’t to say China’s yimby success is problem free. Chinese laws notoriously favor landlords over tenants. It’s not about deregulation, it’s about smart regulation. China’s recent adoption of urban rent control, since August 2021, will constrain housing at the detriment of would-be renters."
"The People’s Republic of China is the biggest Yimby success, with more renters (250 million) than Brazil has people. They’ve managed to build so much housing, the Chinese politburo is buying and removing 1 trillion USD of housing to prevent a real estate market collapse" -Me, 2024
Really bad. Suicide nets around Foxconn plants. Average wages posted below. But housing is a massive success in China.
This one bothered me the most. I don't know this person, but I read about their personal tragedies lately. They're trans too, and you've made an out group of them.
I'd like you to criticize your friend Bella Bliss, publicly, for a transphobic attack on Thorne, because Bella Bliss is a "fucking gender traitor" if I may borrow a phrase from her. I'm not asking you to attack a transphobe for transphobia, but she happens to be trans.
You just can't make this shit up. "Cis person who disagreed with me once" = transphobia, to you.
You and your friends hurt trans people, specifically for being trans in Bella's case. You do badjacket cis people for made up bullshit to feed our outgroup vs ingroup dynamic, and its bad, but at the end of the day, you are someone who can and does hurt trans people.
