How does he manage to get all this amazing shit done?
Just do it. That’s all it takes. The fact that most don’t should tell us a lot.
The first who's actually wanted to do so. So he does it.
Biden tried to get this passed but it got blocked by a federal court
Assuming the administration attempted to show the ambition to do so, but didn't actually need it done. Obstructionist republicans noted, but the will to finish is probably the true difference here.
Order of magnitude larger effort at the federal level as well, but again, will is likely the true difference
Apparently the button to turn off the orphan crushing machine was on the desk all along.
Real answer is that he is basically doing his job. the question is how come every other mayor/politicians isn't doing their job?
Their corporate donors don't want them to. And they want those donors happy for two reasons, so they can get rich via kickbacks and insider info because Congress is apparently exempt from insider trading, and when they leave office they get a nice cushy lobbying job using the connections they made in office to deal.
ie, corruption. every single politician like that should rot in a jail cell. it's so normalised that we have basically one major exception
With common sense.
If only it truly were common.
He’s probably not on the take from big business and realizes he’ll never get donations from the wealthy. So he has no problem passing legislation that will harm them in favor of the consumer.
Why does this literally make me horny
And then he said “consumer rights” and sploosh
It's almost like the ability to do it was there all along and people choose not to do and then tell you they can't 🤷♀️
