🏠 Should Federal Gov't encourage & assist people moving to shrinking towns rather than stuff favorite towns?

A big part of the housing problem is caused by too many people trying to live in a few favorite places. In general, the USA has plenty of space and even shrinking towns with empty houses. It seems logical to find a way to spread the load rather than force stacking, which locals despise (NIMBYism).

The Federal Gov't could give loans and tax breaks to those who volunteer to move to shrinking areas. Are you for that? Would it work? Are there other ways to go about it?

"Nurse Hatchett, is that you?"

RFK Jr. is cutting funding to various hospice-care facilities because patients are allegedly “living too long”. What he probably meant is that facilities are (allegedly) lying about patient conditions to game the system. But one should offer direct evidence of such lies, because living long by itself is not sufficient evidence. Either way, his statement was very ham-handed (or worm-handed).

Devoid of life, devoid of dignity, devoid of rationality

Donny Boy threatened to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" if Canada didn't agree to his tariff terms.

🦊 Just because Fox hides our policies from YOU doesn't mean they don't exist.

Here are common progressive policies & goals:

  • Tax billionaires more.
  • Act on climate change rather than deny.
  • Ban semi-automatic weapons & require background checks.
  • Bring back Roe vs. Wade.
  • Make birth control easier to access, reducing need for abortion.
  • Ban corporations from giving campaign donations.
  • Help homeless; Jesus wouldn't throw them under the bus.
  • Have good relations with allies & democracies.
  • Add the Public Option to ACA.
  • Require police transparency, standards, & sufficient training.
  • Make sure all children have sufficient food & medical care.
  • Make it easier to obtain higher education.
  • Protect Habeas Corpus & the principles of Magna Carta.
  • Curtail the harassment of LGBTQ+ & Muslims for evangelical reasons (often under guises).

(Not every progressive will agree with all.)

What specific policies does "to each according to their needs" translate into? Is it a formal DSA goal?

Some DSA members subscribe to, "to each according to their ability, to each according to their needs", a variation of a statement made by Karl Marx. What does it specifically translate to in terms of policy or laws? How are needs objectively measured? How is cheating prevented? What are examples? Is it a formal goal or mantra of DSA?

Few dispute as a legitimate informal goal, but how it translates into specifics is hard to figure out.

I last heard it attributed to Mamdani. Has he ever stated it as his platform?
