So? That doesn't answer the question, does it Jack?

Who is going to pay for NY hobos getting free subway rides?
No one. Hard working immigrants would never ask. I can see it now. Homeless drug addicts manning the Buffoons work force.

You wail and moan and gnash your teeth over free subway rides yet you care nothing about trillions stolen in the defense industry. Let the oligarchs and rich marauders rape the American taxpayer, but don't let anyone help a poor person. God forbid.
How do you know what I care nothing about?

As I recall, I was/am all for DOGE and you were all worked up over the waste corruption and fraud that was uncovered as if you were personally affronted that anyone would dare question careerist bureaucrats feathering their nests with taxpayer dollars.

As for the Pentagon, I am a bit disappointed that we haven't heard much regarding what DOGE might have uncovered there.

Folks are sick of both parties.
.Of course, had they gotten sick of both parties decades ago and gone anti-LibiCon as I did then we wouldn't be in this situation, but yet as sick as they supposedly are of the parties the more doggedly they stick to the polar philosophies... and the more entrenched in their separate versions of radical intolerant conservatism they become, whether lib lemmingism or MAGAism. In the end, same shit, different pile.

"I think ultimately, the definition for me, of why I call myself a democratic socialist, is the words of Dr. King decades ago. He said, 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism; there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country.'"

Hiya Lotus.

So, how is this rectification of "income inequality" going to be achieved? Will assets be forcibly taken from some people and then redistributed to favored groups?

And regarding evil capitalism: What do YOU propose the capitalist system be replaced with?

Happy Sunday, dear. Hope the weather is nicer today.

Honey, when I work out my proposals, I'll file them with the papers I need in order to run for mayor of NYC long before I post them here.

. Lotus, I'm sure that I am not alone in noticing that when you are asked to explain or expand on some statement you've made that your standard reply is something to the effect that you would but....
..and then you don't.
Have you ever noticed that?

That's our Lotus.

So, why did you change your name again?

Have you ever noticed that when you make simple claims about your beliefs, no one demands that you make some sort of plan to implement what you believe in and then post it here, but yet you criticize me for not doing what you yourself have never done nor been asked to do?

Same goes for @Reggie_Essent

I'm never asked because I articulate my view in deep cutting laser-like fashion so no one need wonder.
What I find perplexing is why you as a former english prof and writing coach have such difficulty expressing your positions in writing. One would think you'd relish the chance to dazzle readers with your skills.
...but
the best you seem to ever manage is to link a youtube or some passage from another person's tome.

Why is that?

In Holliday's case, that's because no one can ever understand what the fuck he's going on about most of the time.

In my case, I always state quite clearly what I believe in: Liberty, and never propose any ideas or beliefs that would force others to change their way of life or behaviors to align with my ideas.

... except muslim Jihadis, of course, who are all subhuman feral animals that should be removed from the gene pool.

So does AOC
