  • I mean, the companies who continue to conduct business in Russia were given the same opportunity to make swift exit as all the others. If they incur losses as a result of retaliatory actions from Russia, seems the blame would fall squarely on their own shoulders. In the rare case where making an exit is not clear cut, perhaps some of the leftover $300 billion could be petitioned for use to subsidize these businesses’ losses, if they can demonstrate unavoidable and confounding barriers to exit.






  • The whole system is fucked. Wage stagnation, increasing cost of living, lack of affordable housing, dynastical wealth concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer elite citizens and oligarchies.

    Before these issues are improved upon dramatically, there’s simply going to be a growing number of homeless people.

    If the solution is to throw homeless individuals in jail, then what? Jails are still funded by tax dollars, so why not be proactive and invest that money in getting people housed by building more affordable housing, providing more jobs with things like infrastructure improvements that are badly needed throughout the country, rather than taking punitive measures? I think this needs to happen at the federal level because it is indeed a broken system of the entire country.
