I don’t say to abolish tax. With tax, however, you can set taxes on the transactions made for evading taxes. You can’t set a maximum wage on foreign companies though.

But how would setting a minimum wage fix the loopholes of setting a maximum wage. That makes no sense unless you explain further.

I don’t see what Switzerland has to do with any of this. And why it would be fixed if Switzerland set a minimum wage.

The problem of this is always the same. Contractors. Is your janitor holding the wage of your CEO down? Easy fix, you are the CEO. Fire the janitor and hire a cleaning company. Since the employees of the cleaning company are not your employees, their wages are no longer relevant.

At some point, the CEO can just have its own company of 1 employee (himself) which owns 100% of the stakes of the real company, and he can also be CEO of the real company. The real company would just pay massive amounts to the CEO company for “IP” or “consulting”.

This policy can be implemented voluntarily by companies, but I don’t think a government can make a law to implement this policy without obvious loopholes.

I don’t give a fuck about your bible.

It’s way too many topics for a single comment. I’m not even gonna respond the ones we seem to agree on.

“Bathrooms” -> preferential meaning there has to be a law to handle the edge cases of trans. Just use the current laws. Peeing-recipients are based on genitals. Nobody is going to check if you’re in the correct one anyway.

“Gender markers” -> again, special handling for trans: don’t support.

“Gun” I already answered, has nothing to do with trans.

“Military” -> as I said, if men can and women can but trans can’t, that’s anti-trans. So makes no sense

“Public” 4-finger rule applies. If you can’t do that to ppl with 4 fingers, you can’t to trans

“Prison” as I said, if there’s serious risk of being raped, separate, just like you would with any other prisoner

“Don’t say” -> handle like any other free speech case

“Social media” are conservatives asking social media companies? Let them. Are they making it into law? Don’t

“Banning insurance” idk what you read in my response but it’s not what I wrote. Read again please. I’m saying that insuring it should be as legal as the procedure.

“HRT” smuggle if you want. The procedure is not the problem. The political capital needed to defend it is.

Btw I’m no democrat, not even American.

Idk where the concentration camp comes from. I’m saying treat them like any other person.

To be fair. They have tried with what they believe Americans want.

It’s been on the decline lately, but the last ~10 years there has been a big trend of “Americans wants black women”. If a movie had a group of at least 4 people, a black woman was one of them. If an ad had 4 people in quick succession, a black woman was one of them.

So they saw this opportunity and decided that the most important thing would be having the first black woman president. They might just be incredibly bad at seeing what the voters actually want. And of course, going for cultural-left made them lose against the most incompetent opponent.

Or they might just be physically unable to be an economically left party, so they go with cultural left in order to differentiate themselves with the fascism party.

Don’t worry, I’m not American, I don’t have to stick with no American political party.

You claim that you have other options. Which ones are those? The third parties that will never win because the system strongly favours a 2-party system?

I haven’t looked into it, but mamdani is probably extremely popular in NY, but hated by the MAGA crowd. Since they probably heard him from fox news than from his policies.

I haven’t heard Luigi be called woke. But what he did is not (just) culturally left, it is economically left. Which is what I think the left should focus on. Culturally left is “woke” because that is what the commies do in their cities, “real hardworking manly Americans” don’t have trans people in their rural towns, but they do have bloodsucking healthcare companies.

Listening to the children’s feelings is “woke”. Increasing the taxes on the billionaires to deliver drinkable water to Americans is not.

“bathroom bills” could be a range of very different policies. A law that says “trans women are men for the purposes of going to the bathroom and vice versa” is fine. A law that say “trans cannot go to public bathrooms” is not. As I said, don’t give them preferential treatment (pro-trans), but don’t hurt them specifically (anti-trans).

Same with workplace discrimination protections. “Being trans” is not a firable reason just like having 4 fingers isn’t. However there are jobs where that might be a problem. For example lacking a thumb in an assembly line should be taken into account. If being trans can have a similar impact on a job (I can’t find any example), the same should happen.

“Gender marker changes on documents” is way too broad of a question.

“Adoption rights” I don’t know enough about how the adoption process works or why this is a trans issue.

“Gun rights” no civilian other than those with very regulated permits should have permission to own a firearm. Same as before, being trans has nothing to do with guns.

“Military service” this actually has something to do with trans, since some countries treat men and women differently in the military. Since it’s a physically intensive job, they should be treated as their biological sex. Or even better, they should be treated depending on physical performance. But we both know that’s not gonna happen anytime soon so no need to waste time on that.

“Public service” again, too broad of a question and idk what it has to do with trans.

“Prisons” prisons in general are very complicated and I don’t know how to manage them. About trans, the best should probably be to keep them about biological sex. But of course listen to their complaints, if they complain credibly that they are sexually threatened, keep them in a separate section of the prison. But that goes even if not trans, there’s lots of same-sex rape in prisons going on.

“Don’t say gay” idk what those laws are about. It’s illegal to say “gay”? Anyway, it should be about “not say trans” right? In that case, that’s against free speech, you can’t make it illegal to say a word.

“Social media” again, free speech. If it is covered under free speech, can post it. If not, can remove it. Or if it goes against the social media’s policies. Those are private entities, not government agencies.

“Banning insurance” kinda weird question. If the procedure is banned, the insurance too. If not, not.

“HRT for adults/minors” this procedure is specifically for trans. It is not worth the political capital to prevent its ban. Do a survey and listen to the people. What decision would get more votes? Do that.

“Conversion therapy” I don’t know what that means.

I answered a lot of questions way too fast, so might not be final decisions. But the summary still is: if it’s something to benefit trans specifically, don’t support it. If it’s something that treats trans as inferior humans, don’t allow it.

That’s where the next problem comes in. America has a fuckton of fascists.

Turning to the right in a right environment will always be more successful than turning to the left.

The only way out is to advocate for leftwing policies without stating they are left-wing. Whatever is labeled “woke” in America is probably not going to gain them many votes.

I don’t understand where in my comment I’m saying anyone should kill themselves.

Nobody wants just 5% less fascism. But your options are full fascism or 5% less.

What are you gonna do? Not vote for either party? You just removed a vote from 5% less fascism.

The reality is, there is a fuckton of fascists in america. If you want no fascism you gotta for for less fascism first, to signal to the political parties what you want. When they see that less fascism gives them votes, they will shift towards less fascism until there is none.

Just like Americans signaled so much that they want more fascism, that both the republicans and democrats got more fascists.

No. You can not-have trans rights without fascism. Otherwise, 100% of the earth has been fascist for the entire history of humanity.

What happens is that there’s 5% less fascism. And also it doesn’t increase by whatever amount the fascism party would’ve increased it by.

The other things would’ve also happened (and more even!) under the fascism party.

The US democrat party has a huge problem. That it is in the US. Therefore, there can only be 2 parties. Yet, the spectrum of politicians is huge. It’s big enough for it to be hated by everyone.

The right will hate the democrats because they are woke and young and pro-trans, pro-brown, pro-immigrant.

And the left will hate the democrats because they are fascists, old, anti-trans, racists and anti-immigrants.

The media can pick and choose what democrat they want to demonize, and that ends up hurting the entire party. The left will hate the rightmost democrats, and the right will do the same with the leftmost ones.

Which ends up with conservatives voting for the republicans, and progressives not even bothering to vote because they are too much to the right.

They only win sometimes because the republicans are so ridiculously horrible that any good big policy will land the democrats the white house. But good luck getting that whole spectrum + their donors to all agree on one good big policy.

Me. And I guess other people too.

The top 1% are using cultural positions to divide the working class into conservatives and progressives.

Trans people are fractions of a percent of the population. While anti-trans people are a way bigger %. A party that supports trans people will lose voters for it.

It is a global phenomenon that fascism is gaining power. Countries everywhere are turning to the far-right parties. Leftwing parties can’t afford to lose voters. Because if you don’t have enough votes, you can’t implement the policies you lost those votes for.

I’m not saying they should go opposite, and go anti-trans. Just that they shouldn’t fight for trans people more than any other group. For example fighting so they don’t get assassinated by the government is ok, but subsidizing trans-related spending (such as hormones or whatever) is not.

Instead, they should focus in regaining voters by listening to the worker class, which is the biggest voter base there is.

Raise minimum wages. Decrease working hours. Give more funding to healthcare and education. Tax the top 1% out of existence.

Having more people always adds overhead. It’s not only software developers.

You don’t need to have two developers working on the same piece of code, you can have each one working on a feature. And different teams can develop different projects/products. If a project takes 1 year to complete but you want an output of 2 projects per year, you don’t need to overwork your current employees. You can hire a new team so there are 2 simultaneous projects being worked on at the same time.

The supreme court gave total immunity to the president while Biden was president. He didn’t use it a single time.

There are no words that can express the same as curse words. Otherwise, we wouldn’t use them as much.

Words are words. And they are used to communicate. I don’t understand the American panic about this small set of words. They are words like any other.

Non-american countries also have some people that panic about curse words, but I don’t think they match the level of panic of Americans.
