  • That’s the thing about the massive lumbering behemoth that is “government”.

    Despite anyone’s best efforts, actually changing shit is a slow, arduous, sometimes impossible process.

    Not saying he won’t try, but he’ll be about as successful as making America fit his vision as Biden, Obama, Bushel, Clinton, … Etc were.

    The other good news, is that historically, 100% of the time (except for NK), When the strong man dies, the party dies with it.

    My optimistic prediction is that Trump keeps all of our blood pressure high for 4 years, and then we witness the actual death of the GOP, and that in average, most things will stay more or less the same.







  • Alright that’s it, let’s do it.

    We start the beige party here and now. Well do our best to get everyone in our side. Here’s my ideas for a local government platform. Grass roots people!!

    Max ownership of 1 residential property per person.

    Our local minimum wage will keep pace with inflation.

    Municipally owned internet. Comcast?! No. YourTown Telecom.

    We tax your business on an exponential scale, based on whatever the average net worth of the c suite executives is. We will allow your big box stores, but probably not at a price they’ll want to pay 🙂

    Farmers markets.

    Livenation is not welcome.

    We’re paying teachers a lot more.

    Our fines will be based on taxable income. Speeding tickets, violations, whatever.

    What else?
