  • I agree, yet people get caught. This makes simply authorizes that, which I’m not inherently against. All I’m saying is, of all the things in the world, this isn’t the absolute worst thing that could happen and at least it isn’t (currently) being used by that state as a pretext for even more surveillance.

    It isn’t more illegal to shoot people with a plastic gun; if anything it’s less illegal because you don’t need to lie on a form about your status to obtain a gun.

    I think your arguing with what you think I’m saying instead if what I actually said. I believe we’re in agreement with different nuanced takes that affect that agreement. I agree this is dumb and a bad precedent that will likely be ineffective (just like virtually all other punitive preventative measures). I still think it could be worse.

    TL; DR: this law to me feels more along the lines of “let’s stop giving away guns at candy shops” than “let’s completely fix everything all at once” It’s sober minded and an attempt at appeasing their constituency. I disagree with it, but it could be worse and probably won’t hurt.

    Every home must serve as a primary residence at least 183 days out of the year + single family structures cannot be used for profit

    Edit: could also throw in some “single family homes can only be sold at cost or less for X years after acquisition” with X being 1-5 years as a mechanism to control market outside of interest rates only


  • Since Obama has super majority and chose to negotiate against himself and failed to provide the single payer health plan he campaigned on

    If you’re collapsing Biden’s own forgiveness to a did or did not happen, it definitely did happen. He had successful attempts

    About the mid terms: ask the people that didn’t vote. I have, and their answers are about as dumb as you’d expect. They fail to see the DNC would rather the RNC win over the DSA.
