No money for healthcare, billions and billions (ICE already received 200 billion) for domestic terrorism

Didn’t know we had anyone left to fire

The likeness is uncanny!

If he pays his fair share of taxes… He would likely still own everything he owns but wouldn’t have as many 0’s adorning the big important number in his bank account. Just devestating to see someone forced to pay their fair share, lol

Right? Here’s a good example:

If you own an apartment in New York and don’t live there full-time, you’re taxed. If your heirs inherit assets in New York, they’re taxed at thresholds that now reach the upper middle class. The logical extension of this trajectory — and the question the entire private aviation industry should be asking — is: what about the $70 million jet you landed at Teterboro this morning?

It’s very interesting to see just how out of touch they are. You can even see him trying to appeal to non-billionaires by making it sound like he actually gives a fuck about them. “Omg, you’re inheriting a million dollar property? How will you handle the taxes?!? 😱” Then quickly pivots to a more familiar scenario to people in his echelon: "what if I have to pay a fair tax on this ridiculous lifestyle I’m living?!?

The bar has never been higher, lol

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

That’s the only market they care about anymore, as far as i can tell. Companies would rather try to sell 10 $1,000 items than 100 $100 items. Understandable in certain respects, but the brunt of the equation lands on the less well-heeled consumers…

That is a rule change if i ever heard of one ✨

And tbh i made my comment to let others playing along at home know that there are ways around paywalls in general. 🙂 In any event–i appreciate what you’re doing, and I’ll post those types of responses as a general response to the post and not directly to yours. 🥂

Here you are, monsieur/madame:

Anytime you run into a paywall, try copying the link and pasting it into the bank at the top of this page: http://www.archive.ph/

…if they have a non-paywall version, they’ll serve it up ✨

I’m also interested in getting a better understanding of how this works. I’m hopeful the comments OP comes back to explain. I genuinely would like to know exactly where this fell apart, because it doesn’t seem like that outrageous of an idea.

I think it’s worth noting this about Newsom:

Even in this heavily Democratic state, CalCare has never made it through the Capitol — this would have been Kalra’s third run at making the concept a reality. Although Gov. Gavin Newsom campaigned on universal health care, he moved away from the idea once he became governor, instead leaning into the fight to expand Medi-Cal to all income-qualified undocumented immigrants.

He’ll say/do whatever it takes to win office, then he’ll start reneging on the spicy promises that got him there. Politics 101, i guess. But note this goes a step further–a Democrat governor in a heavily Dem-controlled state, yet they still can’t seem to find the majority needed to do something genuinely helpful at a critical time, choosing to blame Trump the same way Trump blames the Democrats for everything under the sun.

“Single payer is a powerful idea, and the Speaker appreciates Assemblymember Kalra’s leadership — but under Trump, it’s impossible,” Rivas spokesperson Nick Miller said in a statement. “Democrats’ focus is simple: protect coverage and stop Trump from ripping it away from Californians.”

The cherry on top, in my opinion–Californians would need to pay $14 billion more to make this plan take flight–on top of the $731 billion they currently pay. So close! (งツ)ว

Ah well, maybe next time right? (For the record, this was the 3rd attempt to introduce a single-payer healthcare plan to the state)

As a lifelong left/dem voter, I’m really, really getting tired of this “oh gosh we were so close to making something better for once! But just wait 2/4/x years and we’ll do it then, we promise!” – just to watch a Fetterman or Sinema or Manchin poke their head out of a donkeys asshole for just long enough to vote “no” on progress on any front whatsoever. I get why people say “both sides” because when you’ve seen this routine for long enough, it really does look that way sometimes. I’ll keep voting and rooting for progress anyway, but I’m past pretending the truly powerful Dems genuinely have any of the common person’s interest at heart.

Don’t tell me: they sent him on a donut run 😬

Thank you 😂

How does one go about finding their local rapid response network? I haven’t seen ice around here but I’d like to know where to report if i do

Citizens United never should have been repealed and we’re long past the point of no return, as far as i can tell
