and Republicans surely play by the rules. They keep looking for ways to win elections by cheating and making it harder to vote.

Is it too late to buy those books in bulk and try to resell for massive profits?

"neonazis collecting limited edition dr seuss books with racist content" sounds like trump-era postmodern madlibs in the worst and also the funniest possible way

I got news for you, that is what they say about the Democrats. The Republicans are not Political Saints. The Democrats are not Political Saints.

What a fundamentally absurd comparison. You're making these points and in each case leaving out the most important details of FDR's record-- you know what the difference between him and Stalin is, in this case? Stalin killed millions of the Soviet civilians he interned; FDR did not (even though it was still wrong and people did die because of the terrible conditions). You really don't think that's a worthwhile distinction to draw, or that it's reasonable for that fact to differentiate our historical interpretations of their records?

Can't say I agree with that tbqh. There's a lot of places (parts of California, New York etc) where 80k a year genuinely isn't a ton of money. I'm pretty sure that's less than the average income in a place like San Francisco so are we just cutting them off from aid entirely?
Wha....the demos buckled again? I am shocked...shocked I say!
No it’s not. Average rent in SF is about 3K and that includes not so safe areas. My old flat in the bay area was about 1800 (about 17 years ago). Now it goes for 3600. It has not been changed that much. It is still a fire death trap (requires an explanation not worthy of this thread).
Income levels have not advanced that much.
There is no way I will vote retrumplican. The only way I will probably vote demo next elections is if the ex-president or pseudo version of him runs.....
This is another case of where they look at the income levels and view it on average across the country. Sure I used to make 6 figures; the cost of living was well in line with that. I was not living the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Owner-occupiers have a significant asset, and even if they have no other more-liquid assets they could take a second mortgage to get by. However, this is still something that Congress would have to do, and Biden shouldn't try to bolt it on.
