    Leftist Berkeley NIMBYs hate capitalism. Just another scammer from the government.

  4. So you're okay with predatory firms systematically extracting/reducing value rather than providing it? And this in the service fields? The rat race to the bottom is a good thing?

    They have done that to the whole country already, the US citizen has been looted.
    Most of the billionaires that could have fought this, have fled to safe havens elsewhere.
    Financial conservatives could save the day, country is hanging by a thread.
     
  6. I don't know about financial conservatives. But Republicans and conservatives in general seek to further deregulate. How would that help?

    Totally agree with what he's saying on healthcare. It has no basis in reality and is in some sort of twilight zone.

    Self employed people typically pay more than $2k per month on premiums for a bronze plan which barely covers anything and is not accepted by many providers. this premium grows 5% to 10% per year.

    And that's on top of already high taxes + social security dues. If you add it all up, US small business owners are likely the most tax burdened entities on planet earth. Lucky us.

    The fake news peddlers are about done. Artificial Intelligence will replace the fake news currently, run by extreme leftists. Their masters do not have to pay their salaries, pensions, healthcare and other perks. An Artificial Intelligence robot will just spew the same garbage tripe with the owners of those rags, not having to pay any benefits to any employees.
