It's really incredible that America tried social democracy for like a year, we were the best at it, but since the price of a cheesy bean and rice burrito at taco bell went up by $.19 because workers were paid so much better, we are on track to elect in fascism.

Kudos to Gwen 🏳️‍⚧️ who completely owned me with this bit. It was a good enough bit that I did not see it for what it was

'Markets don't work for housing. Housing is a necessity, like food'
'Well, markets work okay for food. Food is cheap and abundant. And if someone can't afford food, we can give them free money'

Actual quote from my kid this weekend:
