Cancel all debt across the board is my hot take. Very swift redistribution of wealth.
ALL debt. Just sit with it. Think about it. Think how it frees.
Don’t sign off right away. Just think about it. Give it a night’s sleep. Then: Imagine waking to a world without debt.
I see your “no student debt” and raise you “no payroll lending debt, no medical debt, and no mortgages.”
You guys don’t look now but I think that’s a much better world for almost everyone.
We already have an economy based on free stuff, only it’s all going to the landlord class and the 0.01%. I’m just saying what if we gave all that money back at once?
Look all I’m saying is, think about it. I know we’ve been told it’s impossible, but it’s just as possible as anything else. Humans invented debt. It didn’t exist beforehand. We just started believing in it. We can stop believing in it. Seems really good. Don’t be afraid.
Somebody’s already paying for all the free stuff. It’s all of us.
why why why if we did THAT then by now we might have new banks that feared engaging in predatory practice
It may be older than money. It isn't older than humans, though.
It's fun to imagine unimaginable things and then realize that they're entirely possible. Many things we think of as immutable aren't.

A lot of people experience psychological unease imagining a world without debt. If that's you, examine the sources of that unease.

Where I Live, Nobody Cares About Anybody But Themselves Image
I’m from West MI and I can attest that the proud lack of regard for human life is quite normal here. 800,000 have died in the US—1 in 100 elderly. Schools and hospitals here are near the breaking point. He says caring makes you out of touch.

The Atlantic should be ashamed.
He should be ashamed, too, but he won’t be. He fully expects to not only be permitted to go on sharing his community’s selfish degeneracy, but to be preferentially accommodated. He thinks caring is for urban snobs.

800,000 and counting.

The Atlantic should be ashamed.

Little known fact but every 60 years West Side Story must win best picture, or the Elder Gods rise to consume all life.
West Side Story won best picture in 1961, 1901, 1841, 1781, and 1721. Look it up.

Actually QTing Frum is how dire this is.

Oh by the way it's pretty clear that for example Ted Cruz was on board with it well in advance.
That is the "(inevitable)" of a man who wants peaceful transfer of power to be extremely evitable.

The Accommodation Is The Supremacy

Republicans are killing their own constituents by the thousands, and their constituents love them for it. Wondering why?

Look to the swimming pools.

getrevue.co/profile/julius…
In the 1950s and 60s, municipalities started to integrate their public swimming pools, in part due to legal mandates, in part because of the fact that segregation is cruel and unjust, and people have always known that, no matter what people say now about “a different time.”
So, municipalities—whether voluntarily or not—made public spaces available to everybody. A simple thing. A good thing. The right thing.

What happened was this: white people violently rioted.

The fascist, white supremacist political party Republican that works nearby is trying to end abortion rights, marriage equality, the struggle against institutionalized racism and poverty, and any hope of an equal, pluralistic modern society.
You can laugh at these pathetic men, and probably you should, but you should also realize that the most powerful political party in our country, seemingly able to control public policy in or out of power, with 35%-40% support, acts primarily to support their point of view.
Here's what I want people to understand about the marching Nazis:

They believe society is the preferential property of white people above all others. They are supremacists.

Our political and social systems are oriented to accommodate their point of view.

That is the supremacy.

white conservatives think that what the 2nd amendment guarantees is not just the right for white people to bear arms, but the inviolable right for white people to be *presumed safe* while bearing arms, by both civilians and authorities, both before and after any killings
The suspect is a male, age 21 years, armed with several rifles and at least one handgun. Seven are dead, three others injured; authorities seek the gunman to find out if he is white, and, if so, what the dead did to deserve it, or perhaps how bad of a day he was having.
And yet so many 2nd amendment people are currently trying to overthrow the constitution, and shooting and threatening to shoot Black Lives Matter and other protesters who demand we followed it for the first time in the nation's history, it's weird.
