The guy is so strange. I'll see great decisions from him for months, and then it's like he goes into a dungeon and randomly approves the opposite type of laws for awhile.

Chaotic.

He's a liberal capitalist stooge. All of his decent-to-good policies are social, and virtually every financial or corporate decision is dogshit.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yes. But God forbid anyone realizing someone can be socially left and economically right, or vice versa.

[–] Zorque 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not that he can't be that, it's that it makes him a tool.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean, at what point do we stop stating the obvious and focus on what is occulted?

[–] Zorque 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When people realize you can do both.

Apparently not. At any rate, the horse has been dead so long, all that's left are sun-bleached bones.

Bones are long gone. All you got now is sand.

You don't have to be economically left to recognize that what corporations have been doing for 30+ years now is an egregious privacy violation and antithesis to our constitutional ideology.

I didn't say that.

He’s always been surrounded by the wealthy and well-connected, and that’s who he listens to.

When he got caught breaking his state's own Covid restrictions at French Laundry, the fanciest of wait list fancies in Napa wine country, it's all you needed to know.

I mean yeah we've been talking about the issues with capitalism for over 100 years, it excels at keeping things just tolerable enough for the working class that we don't take heads

Just depends on how big the ~~bribe~~ lobbying effort is.
