So the US is already seeing the first of what will be a wave of eviction protests. Should be interesting to see how the right wing spins this since

I would love to know which person who’s blocked me is the one you’re responding to. The list is now impressively long@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

@DukeOfEarle And you just proved conclusively you don't even understand the words you throw at people.

@DukeOfEarle Please reply if you agree Baby-trump is a confirmed loser who is lost, over his head, and mentally and physically incapable of functioning in society.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I thought he’d dismissed you? /s

@SatyrService I don't disagree with you. That being said that argument gets harder and harder to maintain when half of renters in the entire country can't make rent. Mortgage payments are probably similarly dire. And it is especially red states that have no help with that. At a certain point it is hard to convince even the most die hard conservative that half the country just woke up and decided to be lazy and not pay rent.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Starmer doesn't even do the radical idpol stuff. For example, he did (awkwardly) take a knee but has also heavily underplayed blm in an interview.

Its entirely possible that Starmer would have done less state intervention than the Tories were he in power right now. His strategy is the path of least resistance and the only people he is prepared to fight are on the left of his own party. Is what it is.

@Burnley123 Sounds very much like the Blair "new labour" neo liberal.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yup. I voted for Long Baily but I did hope that Starmer would be a bit better. He isnt a soft left social democtat or even Trudeau though, he is new labour.

@LvChris Though they are certainly not blameless if the Dems are smart they could make some serious gains in the election throwing Mitch under a bus.

@Carla Isn't evictions a state level issue though? I mean that is exactly why people in red states are going to get thrown on the street first. I mean sure congress was able to prevent the inevitable by basically funding a bandaid but even the Senate has made it clear they will not pass another stimulus bill. So I don't personally see what an executive order could do. Plus I am not sure if more edicts by Trump are a good solution long term anyway. My sense is Trump would do this to get public support for his and Barr's doctrine of a unitary and absolute executive and rendering congress less and less relevant.

@Carla 😂😂😂

@SmartKat 😁

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout A Brit talks to an Aussie on a Canadian's post about American economics.

He says that the blue states generate most of the wealth in America and that the Federal govt redistributes money in a way that benefits the red states.

Its just an economic fact and not really disputable.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The problem is the first states that will have their citizens thrown out on the street are deep red states. And the antifa boogey man won't help in this case. This will be direct fallout of right wing policy.
