Hypothetically speaking if I were to run for congress, this would be my primary platform. What are your thoughts BlueSky ?

Yes there’s a whole lot of policies and ideas I couldn’t fit on the white board, specifically raising the number of SCOTUS judges to 13 , with a 12 year term limit and aligning their appointments with the 13 federal districts.

You’re absolutely correct. I thought about setting it at 6 months but unless the DNC leaders get replaced I’m not sure even 90 days would make it.

Honestly: it’s still to niche. You’ll need to widen to other platforms to reach voters where they are. And you’ll want to consider paid ads in those spaces too because organic reach is super low on the other social networks. The changing algorithms still tend to favor video a bit. Good luck to you.

You need voters of all demos. Since you have to go where they are I would suggest some campaign presence on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and BlueSky. You may want a placeholder account on X just so nobody pretends to be your campaign there.

Yes very true. And I agree it should be 12 months but I’m not optimistic that a 12 month law would ever pass without extensively gutting the Democratic Party. 6 months would be a huge win.

Minimum wage can never be a fixed $ amount. Min Wage must automatically scale/index daily/weekly/monthly using economic data with the intention to flatten the wealth/income curve that assures a high quality of life from the bottom up. Automatic = once enacted, Cong. & POTUS are out of the loop.
jul 31, 2025, 5:31 pm • 1 0 • view
I completely agree with you, but it would have to adjusted on an annual or every 2-3 years basis because passing it that way in our current political environment would be unpopular even for most Pelosi democrats.
jul 31, 2025, 5:46 pm • 1 0 • view
One way to make raising wages less urgent would be to incentivize increasing housing & lowering rents. Tax penalties for anyone owning more than 4 homes. Make it illegal for private equity groups to own residential housing unless they 1) build/finance building & 2) offer % of low income options.
jul 31, 2025, 6:26 pm • 1 0 • view
Why complicate/dilute simple, single once & done legislative solution? Automatically scaling & indexing min. wage assures workers always earn more than enough to subsist, flattens income/wealth curve, gougers net nothing, & obviates every proposal allowing top1% to further exploit & oppress workers.

For every second min. wage is fixed $/hr, top0.1% steal wages & worsen income/wealth curve. Min Wage has to adjust at least daily & adjust according to local COLs. In '25, we have the tech. W/in 5yrs, all CA will be >$21/hr. In '30, >40% below subsistence = at $21/hr workers lose >40%/yr to top1%.

Tax Millionaires at 90%, not just billionaires. NO stock/investment trading while in political office.
jul 31, 2025, 6:21 pm • 5 0 • view
We’d have to set a minimum millionaire number like $100m or something, because even most federal politicians have a net worth over $1m. There’s no way, unless DNC leadership is gutted, would a 90% tax on anyone over $1m would pass. 23M people in the USA have a net worth over $1m.

i think billionaires should be taxed out of existence. its obscene, they are a blight upon human dignity, as people all over the world are dying in poverty, while a handful of billionaires could change the world, but wont, bx "greed is good" & they are eternally black-hearted. shame on them.

$100 million too high, in my opinion. tax all millionaires to the point that they are paying their fair share. who fckng needs 100 million dollars, esp will millions go hungry & homeless>?. you left out some verbiage abt our veterans, who have been ignored by both sides forever.

Even at 100m it fixes just about everything as far as budgets go.

I get that! Maybe 90% for 100 Mil+ then a lower amt, like 75% for 25-99 Mil & so on. A staggered tax rate for anyone with value over 1 Mil+.

That’s something I’d have to discuss with people more intelligent than myself because in the 1940s the tax rates at 90% was generally on salaries and earned incomes. Today billionaires basically borrow money against their stocks. So I’d have to look into how to effectively tax them.

Yeah, we need more like AOC and Mamdani. But seriously, if worker pay was pegged to productivity, $25/hr would be the same ratio as it was in 1970, the period of peak real earnings.
