What problems do you see with national rent control?

The scariest thing about it is that here in the good ol USA is that some people who are infected are still going to go to work because we won't have any compensation for lost wages. Also the fact that some people who get infected are going to refuse to seek medical care because they can't afford...

How can you be against revolution and electoral politics. What should we do then? The only way change ever happens is COLLECTIVE action. I was at the March to End Corporate Greed awhile back in Des Moines, and the energy, the feeling of being in a crowd, marching with people who share your...

A think a good way to go about it is to renegotiate our trade deals to require other countries to raise their minimum wage and combat the cartels, so there would be less of an incentive for Immigrants to come here and less of an incentive for companies to move jobs overseas. I also think we...

I highly doubt that Hillary Clinton would run again. It would be a terrible idea because nobody likes her and all she would do is take votes away from Joe Biden. I hope she runs though, cuz Bernie would have a better shot at the nomination.

You remember that "deal" Trump made with Foxconn to build factories in Wisconsin. Those factories are empty right now. https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/13/18565408/foxconn-wisconsin-innovation-centers-factories-empty-tax-subsidy Trump's campaign was just a scam, that many people, myself...
