His culture war bullshit is getting so stale (and borderline cringe) at this point. Don’t want a guy chasing companies and institutions for being “woke” and not do shit for their people as president.
IMO every other issue in congress stems from blatant conflict of interest like this, and like donations. To a point where even if youre a single issue voter for something like healthcare, or budget, etc, this is still the first step to resolving your concern. How are drug and health insurance prices ever going to be regulated in favor of those that need it, if representatives financially benefit from doing the opposite?
People elected to federal government are already entitled to salaries they can comfortably live on. And they should really be living on that exclusively while serving.

It’s amazing to me how passionately people I’ve known personally will defend politicians ‘right’ to effectively profit from their service far beyond their salaries. Arguments like “If we don’t let them earn more money talented people won’t enter politics” and “It’s not fair to punish them for being successful”. It’s just insane to me.
“If we don’t let them earn more money talented people won’t enter politics”
Yeah, that's why talented people never enter teaching or the sciences. Though, to be fair, I'd be a bit wary of giving power to someone whose passion in life was politics.
Trump was born rich. I craps in golden toilet. He really never had a boss or had to worry about a paycheck. He surrounds himself with yes men. He love telling people what to do. He loves power. And the maga poor think he is like them.
I'm sure he was furious about losing the election. I bet there was screaming. I bet he had a epic rich man temper tantrum. I bet he throw things, kicked furniture...glad he didn't have a dog.
He stole our secrets and wouldn't give them back.
WE have to make sure this crazy dictator want-a-be never gets back in to power. Vote. Get everyone you know to Vote.
Like I'm glad slavery and wage slavery gets a nod, but I can't help but feel like this is "too little, too late" protectionism.
The west literally pinned up all of this, when around the 50s, executives, shareholders and politicians decided to snub labour negotiations by moving manufacturing and fabrication to communist China so they could cut labour costs. .
But you know, socialists and nationalists like protectionism, for some reason, so ew🤮. Plus it's not very "free market". Therefore, sweatshop go brrrr /s
It's deeper than that. The entire regressive ecosystem is about convincing them that they are the default, and anything else is wrong or at least questionable, and that conforming is the only way to show loyalty.
This is up and down the chain, from the family to the church to the legislative bodies.
