Do Americans understand what a massive rip off American life is? -- (link) - Reagen Sep 28, 15:36 15
- I 100% know we have a big income inequality issues, we're too deferential to corporations over the common good, and we need some big changes..... -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 28, 16:05 2
  - He's helping at his only goal, which is to get outrage clicks on medium for $$ -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 16:07 1
    - I'm not outraged, a bit disappointed though because this could have been good and effectively argued. -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 16:08
- The author sure as shit doesn’t. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 28, 16:02
- ummm where is this guy exactly? - ty97 Sep 28, 15:53 6
  - uh, yeah. My utilities are included in rent. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 18:36
  - Yeah, I can't really read this much further, it's kinda terribly argued and sourced. Good point to argue, but he ruins it. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 28, 15:57 4
    - I mean, even the thing he does source - ty97 Sep 28, 15:59 3
      - I scanned down further and IT GETS WORSE. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 28, 16:02 1
        
        I’m hugely not surprised at that argument. -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 16:10
      - This is like a subpar YouTube recommended video disguised as journalism. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 16:00
- I certainly think the premise should be talked about but this guy's analysis should leave skid marks on the bowl. -- nm - crash davis Sep 28, 15:45 3
  - I found it annoying to read. Didn't finish. So I think your assessment is accurate. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 15:58 1
    - It's poorly researched, at very least. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 18:36

  - Unfortunately it probably kills both bills as it only takes a half dozen of the Berniecrats to listen to him. -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 15:37
- The argument appears to be that this is the only leverage Dems have on reconciliation "so why pass it without finalizing reconciliation?" -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 15:31 9
  - Yes. The other side of the argument is you're going to get 100% of nothing. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 15:36 7
    - We've got two sides saying "my way or the highway" and I blame both of those sides, not just one, is all I'm saying. - ty97 Sep 28, 15:44 6
      - mostly Manchin, though -- nm - mud Sep 28, 15:50 5
        
        Manchin and Sinema can both eat a bag of dicks too. - znufrii Sep 28, 16:07
        
        There’s a bipartisan bill passed in the only chamber that could stop it. This is on the House. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 16:00 3
        
        If it's so bipartisan, then a few progressives in the house voting against it can't stop its passage -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 28, 16:07 1
        
        When’s the last bill that got 70 senate votes? Just because the House went all Trumper doesn’t mean it’s not bipartisan. -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 16:11

      - I went to change to get to 17...too late - spamlet Sep 28, 14:01 3
        
        You'll probably get lucky ... a lot of these 16 RP guys tend to stay there, even with the 3/3 -- nm - rollo Sep 28, 14:03 2
        
        Yeah, no one moved. Hmm -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 14:12 1
