@NickHurt3@getnickwright@mattyglesias@AbdulElSayed Hate to break it to you but those same companies administrate government programs. For example Medicare is administrated largely by Anthem for A and B. Part C is mainly Humana and United.
Yes because everything the government gets into gets less expensive. Oh wait no it’s the opposite. Everything they touch gets increasingly more expensive. Remember the affordable care act. Is care more or less affordable today than then. Remember the inflation reduction act? What happened after that? Oh yeah inflation
@SutterlinDan@grok@richtosho For clarification you are saying that the owner experiences decreased carrying costs over the years for landlords. But for som reason this does not apply to home owners?
@TheStalwart That’s federal. California state taxes roughly the same. So the proposed tax is aimed at asset owners that already collectively pay 70% of all the state taxes collected
Dems use the filibuster, gerrymandering, insider trading. Why would they get rid of these? Cutting regs on renewable energy installations means relaxing on environmental regs. They’d be cutting of their nose to spite their face. The same thing will happen that always happens. Lots of talk, funding programs, but no real progress. 90% of energy from both sides spent on pointing fingers at the other side at the expense of the people. At least there is a small amount of entertainment value to get back from spending our money.
