@rbreich 60% pf Americans are poor or in poverty and ordinary working class folk have to wait months for a spot at the food bank. Surely we can't pretend democrats are working for the people.
@rbreich Would be better if they made harsh punishments that fully eliminate junk fees altogether (full repayment of fees plus extra in government fines), removed all unnecessary credit card fees (the APY is enough already), forcibly took & made public domain the patents for the drugs our tax dollars funded the development of instead of allowing corporations to keep profiteering, socialized healthcare instead of just changing reporting, fixed OT loopholes, etc.
It also restores this thing called a market economy, the thing M Friedman said he was a champion of but whose every policy crushed it from the US.
Freedom to seek better compensation? Naaaa, let’s have non competes, because the world is so much better with serfdom.
Competitors competing in a market place? Naaa, WE know how competition works! Trust us we’re CHAMPIONS loving freedom and prosper? We don’t need the economic super bowl, we can see the future!

Mr Reich,
You are right to point this out.
What I am missing in all of the American discourse is, that this election decides wether or not the USA remains a democratic or slides into fascism/authoritarianism.
I ask you and everyone with some form of reach to make this more clear.
I really really wish these claims were true or at least not misleading.
medical debt for single instances under $500 and presuming you have insurance, and this was voluntarily implemented by the godawful credit unions ahead of any government action
overtime pay is still avoided by the 39.999 hour loophole, and salary
ticketmaster simply reincorporated junk fees into the main price
'negotiating' a price that does not result in a changed price is not a win
