Global Climate Strike
Massdriver replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
@b_m_b_m_b_m, Bernie's plan includes rent control on a national scale which is a policy that would inhibit the construction of new housing and further distort the market. Economists are pretty firm on this. It makes more sense to upzone everywhere you can and subsidize housing for the lower middle class and poor than it does to implement rent control. -

It's one of the tougher ones to address if we want to get to net zero. Start with a carbon tax and then fill in the gaps like WaPo wrote: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/want-a-green-new-deal-heres-a-better-one/2019/02/24/2d7e491c-36d2-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html -

Put a price on carbon and give it back to the people. Invest in "green infrastructure", energy storage tech, and new methods to produce concrete. -
Movies Yes more MCU Spider-Man

If Sony thinks they're going to build their "Sony's Marvel Universe" just because Venom did ok at the box office, they're in for a rude awakening. I bet some of their follow-ups like Morbius flop hard. I'm glad to see they worked this out for at least another film. -
The most essential branch of the U.S. government is collapsing before our eyes—right as it faces a historic showdown. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/27/impeachment-trump-congress-house-228346 I thought this was a pretty depressing article that lays it all out. We all know Congress is fucked, but it's interesting to read how it feels from the perspective of a rep.

Exactly. It does confirm the call portion of the complain which lends it some credibility, and Trump did that to himself. They need to interview some of these other people. However, there is a lot of things that Congress will need to further substantiate. As an example, there isn't enough evidence right now that Trump moved other conversations, or even this one, to a highly classified system. We have second hand accounts about this. Congress needs to put people under oath and see what's going on. They also need to try to dig deeper to see if they can prove that Trump used the withholding of aid to pressure Ukraine.

I think there is a chance, but it is becoming very unlikely. I think a percentage of Biden supporters would just go Warren instead of a more moderate candidate if Biden left the race. I would like to see a Buttigieg, Delaney, or Beto presidency, but Butti is the only one that has a slight chance of pulling it off.

It's not about strength, it's about understanding how the public digests information. Many of the other charges are too complicated for the public to have the time to put into to understand. The Ukraine case is different because people can catch on quick. Soak the public in the Ukraine case. It won't confuse them. They will eventually catch on since it's more straight forward. If you throw a bunch of other shit at them right out the gate, they will get confused and distracted. Democrats need to focus.
