Late 90's? Damn Clinton, the great deregulator!

Deregulation and tax reductions started much earlier and created a wave of innovation (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla, etc.) that has greatly improved our lives and made lots of regular people wealthy. If people chose to invest in 80" TVs, brand new Escalades and the latest iPhone or Samsung every 2 years rather than the market then they have no one to blame but themselves. So yes, it has gone swimmingly.

High school students would benefit from being taught financial management and investing much more than they would CRT.

Yep…Clinton was a neoliberal and master deregulator. It was just a relatively recent and significant example.

Agree with the rest but two questions…

1). Can we apply the 80” TV example to financial institutions?

2). Does anyone else benefit from the working class’s materialism fetish?

China.

Dictator Inslee wants to make lying about election results illegal.

I’m guessing this won’t go over well here…

This is a huge reason why I think the global warming solutions need to turn away from punishment and towards rewarding innovations to solve the perceived problems.

Stop saying, "you're a piece of shit because" and taxing them, to rewarding them for innovative solutions.

Governments do not reward. They only take.

Well unless you are a politician.

Truth.

Good thing Sotomayor isn't on Twitter, or else she'd maybe be banned just like MTG.

Yes, yes. Because it’s worked SO well for San Francisco, LA, Philadelphia, etc. I swear, sometimes I think the GOAL is to destroy these cities….

"Gun crime is on the rise. Domestic violence is on the rise. We've got sexual assault. That's what was going on with the status quo. So we know we need a change to address that," Bragg explained. "And the way to do that is partner with traditional public safety methods, is to invest in our communities. Racial disparity’s rife in our system. We criminalize poverty every day of the week."

Bragg expressed confusion at the pushback his lesser-sentencing plan has received from the public, saying, "This is going to make us safer. It's intuitive. It's common sense. I don't understand the pushback."

Bragg leaned on his own experiences with crime as proof of his authenticity, recounting being threatened with a gun and walking into a crime scene.

"I've had a semi-automatic weapon pointed at my head. I've been shot. And just late last year I had walked to a crime scene with more than 20 shell casings on the ground with my two young children just to get home," Bragg told the audience Saturday. "So don't tell me about guns. I know about guns, and I know from my work to you all day."

"I'm new to politics, but I'm steadfast. We're going to stay the course. As the Good Book says, 'We're going to keep fighting the good fight.'"

Exceptions to Bragg's no-jail rule include murder, a crime that involves someone's death and felonies. Several serious crimes, such as some cases of armed robbery, are being reduced to misdemeanors. Bragg also vows to limit sentences to 20 years, even for murder convictions.

Bragg's office will largely no longer prosecute trespass offenses, resisting arrest, subway and bus fare dodging and sex work. He is also reducing charges for stealing from stores or from home storage areas and drug dealing.

Actually, I just totally made that up.

A “realistic” guerrilla war will be fought across two dozen North Carolina counties in the coming weeks, with young soldiers battling seasoned “freedom fighters,” according to the U.S. Army

The revolution will be televised, live-streamed and vlogged.

Sounds like Robin Sage, part of the SF Q Course at Bragg. That’s been going on for what, half a century?
