Chuck Schumer is up for reelection in 2028 and I think he is scared to death.

What he should be scared of, is that his party is no longer viable nationally without cooperation between non-communist Dems and communists. He has to welcome them with open arms. It’s that or nothing.

In what world does penalizing people that actually do the work make any sense? Should someone that works 60 hrs a week be paid the same as someone that works zero hours? And if so why the hell would anyone work.. ever

All Democrats are now Communists

You are either an American or a Communist. Choose wisely

A salient point. Unfortunately many here believe the Democratic Party wants to round them up, make them eat bugs, take away all firearms, etc, etc.
These are the people who hate blindly and with neither logic nor reason.

Half of this board wishes we had aligned with them instead of the USSR.

But putting the government finger on the scale when a free-market economy fails a certain industry is more socialist than not.

Outside of wartime when objectives are different, what sort of examples can you think of where the government put its finger on the scale for an industry because the free-market failed it.

That’s because you don’t know anything about it or you would fear it and that is the issue with the US electorate as a whole, completely ignorant on the very issues that impact their lives. Don’t give me the “muh social security and Medicare are are examples of socialism” idiotic argument. That argument falls flat because both programs are already largely unaffordable and widely abused now multiply those two government program monstrosities and apply it to every part of your daily life then you might begin to understand why they don’t work

take away all firearms

The left has never seen an anti-gun measure they don’t love. They’d pass every restriction, up to and including national confiscation, tomorrow if they had the votes to amend the constitution.

Well, the three I listed in my post are pretty good examples. I guess the bank bailouts occurred during the GWOT and Iraq but had nothing to do with the objectives of the war. The airlines have been bailed out a few times, most recently from the CARES Act. Congress has been authorizing crop subsidies since the 1920s.

I don't hate them and wish them success if they can improve our nation. Socialist have a tendency to rush and remake everything without a legit plan which isn't smart.

I guess we have different definitions for success.

What industry did the CARES Act save from the free market?

As long as the deaths are MAGA, they actually consider that a feature not a bug.
