That being said, when the last two Republican presidents send the country into a recession, you’d expect people to wake up.

Miami Dade has decided to (outsource) and go all virtual. They should refund the money for each student so that parents can choose to send their kids to whatever private schools are open.

And the issue is the average American has just enough material comfort where it's "not worth it" to foment any kind of revolution, violent, peaceful, or otherwise. Most Americans know they're getting screwed, but it's just not worth it to sacrifice what you have. "Yeah, I know I'm getting fucked. Life could be better, but life is pretty good and it could be worse." So yeah, your point is germane that it will take Americans losing that comfort in order to act. I don't see this as cowardice or anything, the risk/reward ratio just isn't large enough for your average American with a decent job, nice house, a couple of kids to risk it so we can force change.

Hopefully we'll figure it out. An elderly neighbor just passed away. Korean War vet. Worked all his life. Stacked medical bills of course and had to take out a reverse mortgage to pay the bills every month. So house is going to the bank. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos makes 2500 dollars a second. That's basically my litmus test for a fair society. A society that has enabled someone to make 2500 per second is also a society that can easily take care of its less fortunate and vulnerable. People shouldn't be rendered destitute via medical bills and have to take out fuckin' reverse mortgages in the same society that has produced 500 billionaires.

This is where the conservative platitude of "personal responsibility" enters the chat. "If people were just more responsible, they wouldn't have to take out reverse mortgages." Funny thing is the rich are some of the most irresponsible people on the planet with their money, but there's always a host of bailouts, subsidies, and tax cuts to cover for their bad investments and shortsighted risk taking.

this is why i think social democracy is the best bet to salvage our overarching system, because disparity is only growing right now and could culminate in something a lot worse, that nobody wants to see. as you said, we aren't "there" yet but we are certainly creeping toward it. social democrat policies can bridge the gap somewhat without actually self-destructing our capitalist/market model

I think the best thing for people who "are comfortable" to do is try to educate and encourage people to vote, especially the youth. If we're going to enact real change through the voting system, the youth will have initiate it and drag older people kicking and screaming into progressivism. The problem with older populations, even those as young as mid-20s, is that when you start achieving a bit of wealth and security, change to the economic system isn't necessarily in your best interest, so you hold your nose and vote for the tax break politicians or vote for status quo "liberals." You might morally understand you should be paying more in taxes to help those less fortunate, but you start viewing that tax break as more money you can put toward junior's college fund or the vacation the wife has been wanting to take for 10 years.

Long term, progressive economic policies will indeed help the middle and upper-middle classes, but most don't want to deal with the short pain of it, I think.

"If we're going to enact real change through the voting system,

the youth will have initiate it and drag older people kicking and screaming into progressivism."


campaigns and politicians are for sale. Who spends the most money, wins.

No hope from the Repug side

The Dem establishment is neo-liberal and center-right, with the power to block large numbers of progressives.

Token progressives like The Squad are sniffed at by the Dem establishment

Idealism is "fun", but realism says there's no fucking hope for progress in America

proof?

Dems take the WH and Congress, and almost nothing will happen to restore the damage from Trash, and from the Repugs since 2001.

The oligarchy simply has too much power from its ever-and-rapidly increasing wealth to be challenged, let alone defeated.

America is fucked and unfuckable

You just said it didn’t have any protesters, now you’re saying it was just a little protesting. Which one is it? You’re just moving the goal posts every time someone points out how retarded you are.

On that topic, you’re still wrong as fuck:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests_in_the_United_Kingdom

Go to the “timeline of protests” section. There was over a hundred protests that took place from May 28 to June 21 in the UK alone. Saying the protests only happened for a day is more made up bullshit.

Isn't the UK also wrecked by Covid?

[FrostKing]

Nope
Interesting double standard.

[Will Hunting]

Plenty of countries in mainland Europe had a lot more than one day of protesting if you want to move the goalposts again to exclude the UK.

More importantly though, no, the UK had a surge in March/April when every other country did, but they quickly bent the curve and they now have less than 1,000 new cases a day across the entire country. America is the only industrialized country where there are more new COVID cases now than there were in March/April.

[Brazil]

By comparison Germany's second quarter decline was 10.1% annualized at 40%. Covid sucks. It's a shitty choice between fucking up your economy or killing more people.

Congress is also just shameful... and sorry, but there's no way you can't blame Mitch on this one. Dems passed a relief bill in May... there was so much time to negotiate, but they sat on their asses instead.

Cocaine Mitch does this all the time, he deliberately waits until the last minute to release details of whatever corporate welfare handouts he and the Republicans have cooked up so there’s no time to negotiate. The Dems should draw a line in the sand and say it’s on you if we don’t pass it in time but we’re not going to entertain the gamesmanship anymore, unfortunately Schumer is too much of a pussy for that.

The whole reason I really don't want to see Texas shut down the economy again and I can't understand why California is doing it. I mean what the fuck is the point as long as Trump is president when there will never be sufficient testing capacity, there will never be a national contact tracing program, there won't even be a response other than lying about how things are under control from Trump his shitbag GOP.

Do you really believe our 7-day rolling average for new caseload per day flattened and dropped the exact day the hospitals started sending data to Trump's HHS instead of the CDC? And in red states on top of that while blue states maintained their trajectory? No one can seriously believe the data coming out of Trump's HHS any more. We're still the coronavirusfail champions.

If Mitch tries to play hardball just tell him "It's an election year we should let voters decide" I do hope the Dems finally grow a pair of balls and fuck the Repubs the way they've been fucking the dems these last few decades. No more overton window bullshit.

I still say go nuclear, kill the filibuster and ram as much shit through in 2021/2022. Even if/when Republicans get control back, I still think they wouldn’t be able to repeal stuff like a minimum wage hike or a UBI (look what happened with Obamacare, when push came to shove there were always a few Republicans who didn’t want to take healthcare away from 20 million people).

This quarter was 9.5% decline. Not 33%.

Still terrible.In olden times, a reduction in force of ten percent was called decimation.

Demand shocks suck among other reasons because they throw a lot of people out of work at once, and debt-deflation makes the demand shock repeat over and over without state intervention, as during the Great Depression.

No celebration, a depression comports the entirely avoidable result of human deprivation and suffering.

[Winehole23]

doing nothing is a choice.

in a depression/pandemic, it will be a very costly one.
