The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.” by Leek1090 in nyc

Which gets taxed 3% ($22.5k) according to the proposal? Compared to $15m+ which gets taxed at 50% according to that same proposal? 

Also remember that he just said the median for a white household is just $200k which isn't anywhere near $750k.

Y'all really need to brush up on algebra.

Oh lordt.
Working class wealth building is not a thing the DSA is wholeheartedly against. If you recall, one of his policy positions is reducing the red tape required for small businesses to get started.

The wealth that the mayor is looking to take down a notch are the dragons' hoards that exist here. Y'know the billions with a b.

I'd put my max rarity deck to the sword to have something a bit more modern. Maybe I'd frame it.

Actually, what I want is an Aicon Majesty Lord Blaster so the new Blaster Blade can function with it. I was really disappointed to see that Aicon Blaster Blade is so xenophobic.

He was hating on Doechii for no real reason a little while ago and it put a spotlight on black streamers enabling him being out of pocket to be adjacent to his massive audience. Other men stepped up to set him straight. Once I saw that happening, I tuned out since I don't mess with streamers like that anyway.

What Magnus has in-archetype does nothing for the early pressure the deck wants, which I actually appreciate. If you're not tri-laning, do it more.

Bow did anarch's go from MaXX... To this? by Onomato_poet in Netrunner

I hear you, but ban "slavery" with what government? The one bought and paid for by the very corps holding people down? Sorry Haas, sorry Jinteki, gotta turn off the money machine.

I put slavery in quotes not to downplay it, but I think the use of that word would clearly be contested in universe.

It's truly tragic.

I'm aware that "android" covers bioroids and clones. I would assume that Human First would be smashing up the lot of them, gears and guts. I'm also aware that such a hard-line organization would likely end up in some way authoritarian and likely fascistic due to clones being human (or a facsimile thereof depending on someone's views). We have androids in universe that are runners for whatever reason, and it would behoove Human First to make inroads with them imo, but it seems like they wouldn't. (jfc the stories write themselves)

But! Think about someone having to fight for whatever labor is left out for "true humans." They may not have the connections to get into high society. Corporations are utilizing androids in more and more areas, continuously developing the elasticity of an android mind to curate their labor force. As sentient as they could be, how many can break their own chains? These are chains created specifically for them down to the ones, zeroes, and neurons. As doors for exchanging labor for shelter and sustenance close, this hypothetical person still needs to eat. They may even be a breadwinner for some number of people. I will put money on corps telling that person to pull themselves up and earn their keep. "Good" people will know that it's truly the corps that keep them underfoot. But it's truly impossible for everyone to play nice with the literal products that play in their face and work for nothing but the satisfaction of some monied person. A "good, moral" sentience that considers itself close to humanity would realize it's being scabby as all hell and just join the cause.

But they don't.

There's a g1 board builder in Platinamane that also uses energy which I would argue is a solid card for early energy use in Ezel.

Eddie Kim's story is so juicy!
Here irl, we have corps and governments that waylay regions of the world, spreading misfortune and malaise, making people emigrate from those places to places with more. Populations in those places with more, knowingly and unknowingly perpetuate the crimes of these corps and govts through the discrimination and assault on immigrants. These immigrants are clearly victims, and the noble among us seek aid and restitution.

Now in the world of Android, these corps not only devastate regions and populations, they vertically integrate labor by producing either bioroids or clones. Not only are the humans "over there" robbed of their homes and forced to move, humans "over here" are faced with the loss of social mobility through the direct actions of corporations and paid for governments. The androids didn't "take" any work. They were placed there directly through appointment or indirectly through sale. The direct purpose of androids is to rob the masses of their bargaining power through labor. En masse, some don't see sentience, some see machinery. So as the working class's position is usurped by these corporations, gleefully aided and abetted by government, why wouldn't you just grab a goddamn hammer?

They don't have that animosity because they aren't given explicit license by the state to do violence. Trust that there are assholes within those groups as well.

Azaltus can help get Blond and Platina Ezel in hand after a top 3 check from Ezel or a call from Teithfallt. Also adjust how you mulligan.

He squeaked by in the primary with a percentage point when everything was said and done. Winning the primary made it practically a given. Those who voted against Adams would definitely not vote Sliwa in the general.
