    I love how “political capital” is the neolibs go-to excuse for why the working class can’t be helped. Yet there’s a never ending amount of “political capital” I help giant corporations make more money. Fucking tools

      What? Do you think I like that political capital is a thing? It’s fucking gross. I am just acknowledging reality. What do you think the President actually does in the US?

      Like, do you even realize that you’re advocating for authoritarianism? Or is it OK, as long as it’s the person doing the things you want? And we all know situations like that are super sustainable…

      “The president of the United States cannot unilaterally implement price controls on goods without the involvement of Congress. Price controls typically involve changes to laws and regulations, which fall under the legislative branch’s authority. Congress would need to pass legislation granting such powers or specifically authorizing the president to implement price controls in certain circumstances.”

      I hope you direct all that useless anger you have here on the internet for voting time, then.

      We just had local elections here nationally in the U.S., whom did you place your vote for to solve this issue?
