US Politics Thread

But sure Dax, the US definitely isn’t lurching far right.


We’re clearly lurching right and it’s a do nothing system. Biden will do nothing of substance and lose both sides of Congress in November and then blame the voters for not voting hard enough. They’ll do nothing until 2024 but the US will have a small bounce back and R’s will take everything. They left will say we aren’t doing enough and fight back. We will slowly rebound (as we always naturally do) and repeat. It’s comically obvious. That’s fine though. Pensions will rebound and grow like they always do and nothing will get done for normal people.

Whether or not you believe we are lurching to the right, it's probably best to not base that judgment on some article posted by SWP. He almost always never reads or examines those claims he promotes here...

The most cursory of examination would have told him that was a false story by a lying left leaning news organization. I know many don't think those exist. But they do. Sadly they do.

I mean 2 posts down from the tweet was this Politifacts post debunking it.



On a side note, I'm trying not to get dragged into these political discussions anymore. I come, read, laugh at some ridiculous takes. Then move on.

I came here for City and have decided to enjoy that. I get enough of the political and culture stuff everywhere else.

I'll leave it at that. See you on the football related threads :)

One of the best bits of policy I've seen in a long time. This should reduce the cost of insulin from $6000 per year to ~$200. It will create hundreds of jobs. It will save lives. It will make them a lot of money.

That money can then go to the next drug in high demand where pharma companies are taking the piss.

And the prospect of losing 40,000,000 Californians as customers might well be enough to force the industry into reigning in their prices of other drugs.

It's reminiscent of Mark Cuban's pharma company that does the same thing - produces pharmaceuticals for 5-10% profit instead of the price gouging into hundreds of percent profit done by the rest of the industry.
