Nice analysis. As usual the way the sausage is made is to make sure that people involved in these things make money and the government consumer protection role is vacant. Of course if imaginary property wasn't protected by the same government who doesn't give a shit about consumer protections, then these types of mergers wouldn't matter. Show runner could still create their same shows and just stream them on the internet even if all the traditional broadcaster were owned by a single hostile entity.
tl;dr, Copyright and Intellectual property rights haven't increased the public good since before Walt Disney died, time to abolish them.
Middle Class isn't real. You are either a renter or an owner, property tax increase along with a rent ceiling and a vacancy tax only affects the owners.
I wonder what happened to Occupy Wallstreet? Did it just go away as mysteriously as it arrived, or was there perhaps federal action behind it's dismantling? Since you remember Occupy Wallstreet, could you tell me why it "crumbled?"
I also think he’s by an order of magnitude more likely to be elected by the country at large than Sanders / AOC et al.
Maybe instead of vibing with what the Neo-liberal ghouls that fund the DNC say, we try to support politicians that want to improve our lives and not just pass bipartisian tax-breaks for entrepreneurs?
I think so, or rather I think that the average US voter aligns more with Gavin Newsom’s policies than with the policies of a hypothetical alternative candidate that Salon might prefer
The Baily's do not exist. People want universal healthcare and to be able to work a single job to make a living wage. They don't want tax breaks for entrepreneurs.
Trump is still Trump, he has a second term, but he is still the same trump. No one calls the same person in their 2nd term "2.0" Trump 2.0 will be whoever the person that replaces Trump will be. He'll be younger, and possibly more dangerous.
Pretty sure the deification isn't his billionaire status, but his founding and direction of Steam. Would the picture be more acceptable to you if his net-worth were only 999million? At what level of wealth would that picture be acceptable to you?
Laws are toothless if society doesn't care about them being enforced, and if politicians benefit from not enforcing them. Do you actually think that we'd be in a better situation if the Equal Protection Clause had an addendum that said "especially black people?"
Black Lives Matter is a great slogan for social justice. The Black Bill of Rights is a terrible thing for a government whose purpose isn't racial apartheid. Either we are all equal under the law or we aren't.
Why not pass a bill of rights that will address material conditions for everyone, no need to be exclusive. Here is a great one from 1944.
Employment (right to work)
An adequate income for food, shelter, and recreation
Farmers' rights to a fair income
Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies
Decent housing
Adequate medical care
Social security
Education
Or even just take this part "people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.” and ensure that the same applies to everyone, even if they aren't trans. I'd love if everyone, including trans people, had those rights.
Actually what is colloquially known as "hibernation" isn't hibernation at all, it's a distinct but trivially different classification that only scientists who specifically study bears have created. Wow!
Definetly should be increasing the number of nazis being "assaulted" by 10x, and also should make sure that the nazis' being assaulted are being permanently maimed or killed.
This is all true, however you should be preparing to start shooting ICE agents in the face too. Just make sure you do proper planning so that you have a good chance of getting away with it.
