Does he have to work with the wealthy to raise their taxes?

What about putting caps on rent?

Seems like he could do both of these without any backing from wealthy people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_effect

The ratchet effect is a concept in sociology and economics illustrating the difficulty with reversing a course of action once a specific thing has occurred, analogous with the mechanical ratchet that allows movement in one direction and seizes or tightens in the opposite.

Republicans push us in one direction, weak/complacent democrats don't fight back.

It's part of the two-pronged strategy, and why anyone who supports establishment democrats is tacitly supporting republican policies.

We really needed Bernie in 2016, but it shows where liberals' priorities lie. They become conservative as soon as their wealth is threatened.

Episode 0. I've never seen it, but it seems like the kind of dumb normie-show that I wouldn't like. I base this solely off of all the morons I see that went apeshit over it when it came out.

Instead, treat yourself to some high-brow art like Undone. You probably haven't heard about it because it's an Amazon Prime exclusive, and most of the idiots today "consuming" digital entertainment have been conditioned to only see what's a part of their paid streaming service(s).

Since we're smarter than the average idiot, we can stream it for free here: https://hydrahd.io/ No account or credit card info required, but you will need an adblocker (which you should already have, but many morons complain about ads to this day without realizing adblockers exist.)

Do they specifically mention how banning porn is a step towards attacking queer people?

The ruling class deemed that's what they need to do, so that's what they do.

Personally, I think our rulers are getting upset that we're not spitting out babies as much as we used to, so their offspring will have fewer servants to boss around.

It's always acceptable to kill a rich person. Their culture and lifestyle results in magnitudes more death and suffering than if every rich person was hung.

Bless your heart.

All the money spent enforcing this could've been spent helping out Nebraska's poorest residents.

I mean, that's just business as usual for engineering.

All money and resources that could be spent improving the lives of the poorest Texans.

There's another side to this.

This means there's a lot of programmers who are available to work on other things. It's an opportunity for businesses to start and new programs to be made.
