  1. The moratorium was struck down by the Supreme Court. What about landlords' rights? You idiot progressives punish everyone who acts prudently and works hard to get ahead. My ability to make a 4-apartment building is something I must be punished for, now. Without compensation. It's progressive politics that's the biggest reason there's a housing shortage, NOW, and you do everything you can to make it worse. Those rental units will not have any repairs done, because there's no money coming in to pay for repairs. You all think you can just snap your fingers and goods and services magically appear, and that it's only because of evil capitalists that anyone goes hungry or homeless. Your economic illiteracy and disdain for the rights of others is simply atrocious. And you're getting your way! You idiots won't be happy until we're all living in the streets and standing in bread lines.

  2.  @utterbullspit  There would be more housing, were it not for rent controls and ridiculous taxes and regulations on new housing construction in and around major cities. People in major cities carry massive guilt for their unsustainable community models, so they punish all the rest of us.

  3. Just a reminder that this channel is neoliberal propaganda.

  4. It should be, but they write the laws and deem everything they do to be legal.

  5. Didn't expect to hear this from NPR. They've been talking like neocons about Ukraine.

  6. U.S. foreign policy is insane and malign. But I repeat myself.

  7.  @bobcobb7992  NPR works for Bill Gates and the Democrat National Committee. The only people buying anything out of this woman's mouth are people who have ZERO idea what's going on in the world. Democracy Now! is trash.

  8. I agree with Javier Milei on almost everything except Israel.

  9. @Ryan McDoogal Leftist protesters have privileges. Moderate-right protesters are a threat to democracy. That's how this and all legacy media roll, baby.

  10. Yes, the Uni-Party is a thing. No, I don't want Cornell Powell as president.

  11. The reason things are as messed up as they are is because the Senate and House are in session too long. If they had their shit together, they wouldn't have to legislate for months on end, because they kept it simple and left the rest to US to figure out. They won't or can't do that, so they have to run EVERYthing, which they are clearly not competent to do. The more the feds do, the less control you have over YOUR community. Less responsibility. Less authority. Less incentive. It's always "Why doesn't somebody ELSE do it, and preferably with somebody else's money." Protesting in Washington, D.C. just ensures that out-of-touch millionaires will dictate policy for ALL. Want your nice little commune? DO IT! Make it self-sustaining. But to impose your will on everyone else from on high is WRONG and you get wrong results. All the agencies that are created to protect us? They work for corporations. The agencies are the corporations' SHIELD against the people. Anyone who knows history understands this, but Democracy Now! viewers don't know much history or human nature. They just read Das Kapital and now they're going to change the world! Woo-Hoo! Ignorance and univariate solutions to the multivariate system known as "the human condition." Solve your human condition where you stand and LET others do the same, you closet authoritarians and undercover aristocrats!

  13. Last time I held my nose and watched/listened to PBS/NPR, you guys were all pushing pro-war propaganda and not at all curious about U.S. shenanigans or the recent history of Ukraine and Eastern Europe in general. Due to overwhelming firepower and great patience, losses are probably about 7-to-1 in favor of the Russian side. I get that NPR's far left (actually Bill Gates left and left-establishment), but usually I agree with honest lefties about American shenanigans and corruption. The dishonesty of NPR reporting (government/oligarch-paid-for) usually steers me away from NPR/PBS. I usually respect the intentions of most lefties, but if they had the same disdain for the poverty-and-regulatory industrial complex that they have for the military-industrial complex, they wouldn't be considered "liberal" under today's definition, but they would be TRUE liberals, which are now lumped in with "MAGA Republicans" by NPR and the rest of the lying media. When so-called liberals wake up, they'll realize that it's the same people, and they've been supporting them for decades and wondering why things are the way they are. The so-called 'left' of today rages against the machine they insisted on building.
