Leftists 10 new ideas for Dems
« Reply #2200 on: January 07, 2025, 08:41:47 AM »
"Ten New Ideas for the Democratic Party to Help the Working Class, and Itself."

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/01/05/tohe-democrats-next-agenda/

I love the first one: make private health insurers tie their rates to Medicare rates which equals single payer system basically


"free college for everyone!" or the "working class"   Love the words "free" and "working class"
who is working class ? does that include those on disability or on medicaid and welfare?
professionals are not working class?

make *employers* secure the border - [what !?]

tutorize not privatize education - in other words more money to teachers unions to supposedly provide them OT pay to tutor kids .

 more government control of child and elder care

Fire the [government] contractors    it ain't the government at all who is the problem - it is those outside their full time workers are at fault [but who hires them and why do they hire them to start with - who will do what they do?]

"corporate proof" the care economy   take elder and child care away from the private sector and let DC do it  :-o

And finally "reconstruct the administrative state"
  "But beyond fighting Trump, liberals need a much larger strategy to reenergize the movement for regulation in the public interest. "

Read these and have convulsions at the stupidity the power grabbing the absolute push for more big government but simply as ALWAYS it is change the message (with the same idiotic policies that brought us to the verge of extinction)

LA still burning

Current headline, five dead, 2000 structures burned.

We've never seen anything like this. Ever.

Not since black lives matter burned 1600 buildings in the Twin Cities, 25 deaths total.

As people see the fire videos in LA maybe they can grasp the scale of the carnage we had here in Tim Walz Minnesota, before it gets memory-holed. Mrs. Walz said she liked the smell, and her husband did nothing to stop it. No one got fired, except those who couldn't escape the burning buildings. The governor got reelected and nearly became first in line to the presidency.

The mayor of LA was also on a short list to be vice presidential pick..Maybe she'll win an award now for her firefighting budget cutting and diversity efforts.

No apologies, no regrets, at least not on her first encounters with the Los Angeles press.

It's not just Democrats in Washington DC who need new leadership. How about America cities?

One thing I like to have when I'm putting out a fire is... water.

Truly a catastrophic event
« Reply #2202 on: Today at 06:31:09 AM »
I am thinking of the fire post earthquake in San Francisco or the Chicago fire as possible analogies.

At least the death toll is very low considering. 

Could have this been avoided ?  I would like to see an objective "autopsy" of the situation at some point.

We know the Left's explanation - Trump and climate change.
