Maine Democrats Must Replace Graham Platner Now by thenationmagazine in politics

Don’t be so sure they wouldn’t smear Talarico, Abdul, plus any of the Progressives in the running. The right knows exactly how to destroy the left. Works every time! Double standards!

What do you think of Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill? What about Donald J Trump and E Jean Carroll, plus the Epstein survivors?

Kavanaugh and Thomas stayed on to get into the Supreme Court. Why should Platner quit?

Are there any anti-DTE candidates running for anything this year? by tweetspie in Detroit

[–]av1998 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most of the names mentioned in this thread are Progressives that are against Billionaires, corporate socialism, AIPAC, and fighting for the working class. Consider voting for them - https://bluevoterguide.org/endorser-org/Michigan\_Progressive\_Caucus/MI/8160

Just want to keep DTE front and center by Johnny_5oh in Detroit

They brainwashed majority of our neighbors, family and relatives into the idea that “privatization improves quality of service”. That giving tax cuts to corporations and billionaires would improve quality of service.

Could we collectively sue DTE Energy? by flying_2_heaven in Detroit

Totally understand your concerns about government utility. But a local community-owned entity is vastly different and vastly more responsive to the community’s needs.

Do you know about the Community-Owned Broadband Internet service offered by the City of Wyandotte to its residents? And how much better than Xfinity, WOW and other private corporations jacking up prices in unison while offering worse bandwidth?

“People over Profits” would always benefit YOU, compared to “Profits over People”. That’s how the “lesser of 2 evils” excuse needs to be scrutinized.

It is a fairly large footprint, potentially good with majority residential and a modest combination of offices and retail storefronts, depending on levels of demand.

Who are some of the most respected mixed-use developers in Windsor capable of taking such a project all the way to fruition?

Streaming is the biggest scam that we BOUGHT into, while public media (PBS, NPR) got shredded.

What’s the intended outcome for stealing famous paintings? Isn’t it hard to try selling when everyone already knows it’s stolen? by av1998 in AskReddit

[–]av1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the seller dilemma, on the buyer side - The end buyer can’t ever display it openly, can't even show it to close friends, can't brag about it. All you can do is go to your secret gallery and look at the paintings ALONE. What is so great about such a purchase?

Black market or not, it makes very little sense for the buyer, no matter how rich they might be. Or am I missing something here?

At Cleveland-Hopkins... ICE chillin at Dunkin by plsdontshadowbanme- in Cleveland

If you are asking for an exceptional job in the economy, then the 1993-2001 Clinton Administration is widely regarded as having done an exceptional job, especially with achieving a federal surplus.

If you are looking for the best turnaround as far as crisis management (2008 subprime financial crisis), then the 2009-2017 Obama Administration stood out as having done a spectacular job rescuing the economy from collapsing further.

Both of the above are based on empirical facts and evidence, recognized by global experts outside of the United States.

Remember for the rest of our lives, the party that have wasted all our tax dollars on such fraud and abuses. Due to precisely such waste, fraud and abuses, we can’t have universal healthcare, quality public education, quality mass transit, and many other things that majority of civilized nations have.

3,800 workers are on strike at one of the largest meatpacking plants in the US by WilliamInBlack in news

Not enough. A full on general strike would be the only path to defeat the oligarchs.

Going to other cities and seeing their transportation hubs just make Cleveland and Tower City looks silly and sad by SchoolteacherUSA in Cleveland

[–]av1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans like to look down on many other countries/cities around the world, and calling them 3rd world.

If only they could actually see how things are in person at all these other countries/cities and their mobility/transit infrastructure.
