  • We need to show up in DC with about a million others, and forcibly remove them from office, to take back the country and ensure the government serves the people instead of just the rich.

    It’s that simple, but organizing the effort is actually quite a challenge. Especially with the rich capturing all forms of social media, while simultaneously shutting down third spaces at every opportunity.

    Direct action is the way - nobody will swoop in to save us, and we aren’t voting our way out of this.

    This is a huge problem, we need to significantly curtail the ability of corpos to buy up single family homes. They then turn around and recruit unwitting landlords with “dynamic pricing” apps, and use that as a means to collude and further jack up rental prices to insane levels across entire regions.

    It should also be straight up illegal for foreign nationals to buy American real estate. And yet, we let them do it, in cash, in one of the most brazen examples of money laundering one can witness today. See Trump tower selling condos to Russian oligarchs at wildly inflated valuations for example.

    The whole thing’s fucked. If we had anyone representing Americans in Washington DC things might be different, but they all work for corporations or billionaires from other countries so I guess we can just get bent in good ol USA.

    Did this get passed though?

    What Biden actually accomplished is locked in half of the trump 1 tax cuts for the rich and corporations. They were all supposed to expire, but Biden let them keep $1.5 Trillion of cuts. It’s important to understand that this keeps actual corpo tax rates, after all the loopholes, at about 11-12% for the most profitable companies in the world.

    Now Trump is doing another $3T in cuts, just as soon as those pesky democrats stop complaining about Epstein files and return to the office.
