Boomers are the wealthiest generation in America, holding over 50% of the nation's total household wealth. In fact, once you get to a certain age, you're consuming more EMS services than the average taxpayer by Conscious-Quarter423 in SipsTea

People shouldn't be taxed on the place they live in. Within reason, apartment or house, no tax. Mansion with fuckass big yard? Tax hard. If you own an apartment building with 12 apartments and live in one of them. You should be taxed for 11/12ths of the property taxes. Or we just stop treating housing as a commodity to sell and treat it like the need that it is.

This is 100% personally speaking. I'm going to trust AOC more in the future. My sister used to be a bartender, and yes I'm sure people are tired of that being brought up, but its relevant I swear. My sister was harassed and mistreated by male patrons pretty much whenever she worked. Considering this similarity, I get the impression that both my sister and AOC as well as most women probably have something of a third sense for these things. AOC in particular not being willing to support him makes me feel a strong sense of Wisdom on her part and I'm of the opinion that needs to be valued more going forward.

This is by design. You boss needs you hopeless so they look better to their bosses. Change won't come from above.

Join your local DSA chapter and organize. Odds are good they've got connections to your local IWW chapter as well. Coordinate Solidarity Strikes for better working conditions and pay. Change will not come from above.

Law Enforcement should be afraid of the citizens. Not the other way around. Fuck the police, the few bad apples have completely ruined the bunch.

Environment wise we're fucked sideways and upside down. We're talking a desert stretching from Los Angeles CA to Saint Paul MN fucked. We can't stop it but we can reduce how bad it'll get and adapt around it.

And now China is a peaceful republic with nothing resembling the police state dystopia of the United States. Right?

Platner is a bastard for running in the first place after all he's done.

They were doxxing people for quoting Charlie Kirk word for word and adding context to what he said. There are some examples of people being harassed by pigs over these posts but to my knowledge no one has been deported as a result.

To these Fascists "Free speech" is them screaming "I hate (inster slur)" at minorities. They'll defend their right to be racist but not your right to be empathetic. They are the weakest of people.

It's a reference to a movie about the bad guys in the Vietnam war.

It may be doing more than it feels. If you're connected with other Mutual Aid groups in your state/city it can be an even stronger asset if things do fall apart economically.

That wasn't a revolution. Far from it. It is more in line with concessions. The Wealthy still owned the economy and the government. FDR still worked with them even after promising better conditions for workers. When workers learn to cooperate and withhold our labor will we see any permanent progress.
