Greetings! The āWall of Sound,ā a mobile audio death machine in the guise of a school bus has just parked in Bollywood for a guerilla dead city punch show. Nearby a low rider takeover on Bollywood boulevard. Strap the fuck in, Los Angeles. Iāll update as I can. Might be a bumpy ride.

No matter who you are, if you are running a platform or a making a product that collects user data, you need to have a plan for what happens when the government shows up and asks for it, you need to share that policy with that users, and publish a transparency report.

An organization that supports cancer patients like me over-collects data for people who sign up for their programming. And they have no sense of the problem when I complained. They think it is only about spam.

Everything Dem Leadership has done for 20 years has failed in every way. Pelosi & Jeffries have lost 8 of the last 12 elections. and they lost them to openly corrupt idiots whose policies are extremely unpopular. These people are catastrophically bad at their jobs. 1)

And #8: half the people who run this country are evil fuckers and would try to crash the system every 2.5 years and also be like "okay we've decided that women don't get healthcare any more" and "okay we've decided, no more funding for sickle cell anemia" and shit like that

These are the things that stand against us in enacting universal health care. We could absolutely do it, but we are going to have put a big knife through the back of a lot of capital in order to do so, and we fucking should.

6. The largest media corporations are owned by people who own both the employers and in some instances the health companies, and so they have an incentive to stoke fears of #3 and #4, which makes educating others very difficult.

3. Our healthcare in this country is so bad that people are aware of all the ways that healthcare can suck. We are all shellshocked from random bills and denials of care coming after prior authorizations. It is EASY for naysayers to raise the specter of bogeymen when we are surrounded by monsters.

That is going to have knock on impacts on stock portfolios, retirement portfolios--so, so, so many things. Capitalism has dug its fingers deep into health care, and it's going to hurt when we take them out. It just is.

These reasons are presented not in any particular order, but. 1. This country is obsessed with brown people not getting "free" things (even if they are paying for those things). The white part of this country has deep-seated cultural aversions to that. We HAVE to fix that.

Y'all if you think that the reason we don't have universal healthcare is that it costs too much, I don't know what to say to you. We would get better healthcare for less money with universal healthcare. The cost is not the issue. There are many reasons we don't have universal healthcare.

The NYT sees itself not as a defender of journalistic principles or a champion of democratic values, but rather a theater critic for political actors. There are no real-world consequences here, no pain or suffering for the common people who aren't in their social circles. It's just a parlor game

This is how affordability is reached. Eventually the city will hold a substantial housing portfolio that allows them to establish price controls through a market power majority. They wonāt have to legislate or mandate lower rents, theyāll just hold enough housing that private sector canāt compete.

We need the private sector actually competing in the market place to fill vacancies. Realizing the downward price drive. And so far just adding inventory simply slows the rate of rental price increase, but it hasnāt realized lower rents at all in Seattle 7/

In Vienna they get luxury apartments for around 400⬠per month. Living spaces with real utility. The social housing sector services over 70% of their urban population and over 30% of that market is publicly owned. The rest is developed through grants and awarded to nonprofits for management. 3/

The model is self renewing, eventually the rents themselves will pay for more housing units to be built or acquired. What I love most about the Vienna Model, is that it is not means tested. Everyone in the city has access to social housing with out bureaucratic red tape and income limitations. 2/

This whole thread is excellent, but I especially want to highlight this post for my comrades in NYC. Until we develop a shared understanding of the impact of supply on housing prices in NYC that acknowledges this basic fact, the organized Left's approach to housing will be functionally capitalist.
