I love the sound of that.
But it isn't happening. Corporations will get a refund. People will not, and the prices will remain elevated.
We could get a refund, but we would need to fight for it.
BINGO! Once prices go up corporations are not going to drop them. They’ve seen people can pay it and that’s now the new threshold.
It’s a saddening truth.
Just like when many of them nearly doubled prices during those few months of super high inflation a couple years ago. No idea how people just accepted that month or two of 9% inflation somehow meant 150% prices are justified.
Ironically, that is exactly what would happen with Gavin Newsom if he won presidency in even a far cry of a free and fair election.
Gavin Newsom is fighting a billionaire wealth tax in Cali right fucking now. He's shut down universal healthcare in Cali when he had a chance.
We can do better than this scumfuck asshole who believes in nothing. Remember that during the primaries people.
We really do need people to participate in the primaries in 2 years.
That said, if he wins the primary then I'm going door to door to promote his ass.
I get it. I wouldn't, at least not outside of voting for the lesser evil. It'd be disingenuous for me to believe this isn't just going to exacerbate all the reasons that led to Trump taking power to begin with.
Assuming he won in that scenario, I think I'd use the next 4 years to leave the country and try to live where a progressive democracy and the rule of law actually matters; personally of course.
