Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

This is related. Maybe the worst part about the Andrews response is there is now a great deal of evidence showing this is ineffective. You shouldn't need polling or ad RCTs to know this is awful, but even WITH that evidence, it's still happening. The whole system that makes these things is rotted.

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.
