 @fuzzychef these same hedge funds are also driving the costs of housing up. They are overall creating havoc. With a divided congress, we are not going to be able to do anything until we have Dems back in the House. You know the GOP are not going to do anything. 4 comments
@c3141mtd @fuzzychef I don't want to get into a deep discussion but I think today's dems are different than what they were in the past. Like you, I've not been pleased with the right-ward movement - realize that right-ward movement was to garner white male votes. Today, the party's base is black women - that's going to drive a different dynamic than chasing after working class white men. @sri @fuzzychef I wish more people would talk about this. Our affordable housing crisis is not because we aren't building enough, and not because our zoning is wonky. It's because housing financing mechanisms are removed from the markets they serve and are geared toward investor profit, not providing housing. It's all upside down. @sri @fuzzychef the Dems don't do anything about hedge funds, even when they have the government. See 2008-2010, 2020-2022. |

@sri @fuzzychef Democrats won't do anything. Ever since Bill Clinton's "third way", democrats have been center-right neoliberals; all of the right-wing economic policies, just with less of the bigotry. They are always trying to compromise with Republicans even when democrats have all of the power and never want to play hardball because both parties answer to their doners, not the people.
