Autocracy Texas Style

They apparently had no troubles picking up and moving to Texas.

Edit: and to Florida. How's that working out?

Well many because they could no longer afford to live in other states. I feel bad for those with regrets. But there are serious problems in this country that need fixing, and zoning laws and better wealth equality are some of them that would help keep people where they want to live, in good and decent and sane states not run by GQP scumbags.

Even the Mayor of Los Angeles realizes how hard it is to deal with all the red tape of multiple layers of regulation and takes action to speed up the process.

Go to the 1:00 min mark to get to the changes. The example project highlighted in the video took 16 YEARS OF APPROVALS before they could even get started!

Mayor Karen Bass signs to ease red tape surrounding affordable housing

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continued to make the homeless crisis a priority by signing an executive order to lower the cost and accelerate the building of affordable housing in the city. Rachel Kim reports.

Assuming the same thing happened again, if you started working on getting approvals for new housing project in LA in 2023, you might not get approved until 2039!! Yeah, more red tape, thats what we need!

How exactly is this relevant in any way?

Im willing to bet you are not aware of how hard it is to get anything done in certain parts of California. *snipped for brevity*

You mean the world's 5th largest economy, the one that's about to be the 4th? That California?

Great anecdotal wad btw, the "I watched a video several years ago" bit. Yep, compelling stuff as usual Felix. Look your bets don't concern us; more interested in your devotion to ignorance and this struggle to respect certain Constitutional rights. The problem in Texas is those in office like Abbott. You need to admit it instead of vomiting reheated talk radio.

Keep Calm and Exaggerate On!

Texas is just making sure those wacky liberals dont create chaos with their odd and unusual regulations that are only meant to bring about socialism.

Granted I do like stronger rules against the dastardly oil and gas industry however we must draw the line at cities trying to do things like minimum wage requirements and other things that make them union friendly.

And you think keeping slavery legal is just way better than enforcing a minimum wage. You are hell of bent.

It takes a special talent to blame blue state Dems for homelessness in a thread about how red state govts are forcing their working populace into poverty.

 

[MrSquished]

Why do people engage with that disgusting excuse of a human being?

 

[darkswordsman17]

It takes a special mental impairment to blame blue state Dems for homelessness (that is in part due to red states shipping their unhomed populations to blue states, but also in large part due to one of their prophets, Saint Reagan's moronic policies that were known would lead exactly to what we've seen) in a thread about how red state govts are forcing their working populace into literal death.

FTFY

This post has finally made me 100% sure you're just a troll.

100% Felix is here for the lulz, nothing more nothing less.

Never-mind that our decades-long homeless and mental health access problem is the sole responsibility of Reagan and the horde of cvnts that enabled him. it's a fact of history and there is literally no argument against this. It is exactly what Felix championed from that traitorous bag of pus, and his smooth brain only allows him to forget his treasonous votes and shift blame away from himself.

It's the magical thinking that he is well trained to employ, such that he can live with himself and his evil on a daily basis. This is a guy that doesn't have a job. Never had a job. Contributes nothing to society and is simply a parasite on other peoples' productivity. Yet sits in his copper-clad dungeon atop his wheelchair, funded by evil socialist medicare from which he happily suckles the teat, flagging youtube videos and casting judgement on the very conditions that he happily created.

He is the perfect metaphor for the GQP: Creating all the social conditions that they claim to hate and never taking responsibility for any of it.

Fucking ghouls.

I'd say it's 50/50. Some posts are quite obviously too trollish to be serious and he certainly knows what he's doing...but challenge his god and the foundation of his god and his arch conservative philosophy of stealing the wealth from the creators whose labor make his parasitic lifestyle possible, he will lose his fucking shit.

just read his stock threads. Without prompting, the guy will just blindly and without irony drop little hints about how evil socialism is causing inflation (it never is) and the FED and other entities are getting in the way of his public wealth-destroying antics. Then, when you call him out on his very deliberately bringing politics into his NO POLITICS! thread, he loses his shit on you.

Sure, it's obvious that he worships Reagan only because without Reagan, his entire existence would not be possible--the creation of the FInancial industry whose only purpose, in fact, is to syphon the wealth created by corpos away from their employees, away from the middle and working class, to create an entirely new class: the investment class. They bitch at the death of the middle class...which is the only reason they now exist. Where the hell do they think their wealth came from? These people are scum. Oh look: you mean I don't have to have any talent for doing anything, I can just sit in my chair and gamble on paper things that I have no real control over, and just manipulate national wealth to my unskilled purpose! Amazing!

Slavery eh? Dramatic much? People who don't want to earn minimum wage are free to work somewhere else.

And in today's extremely competitive environment for workers that is usually the case.

I gave you guys an example of how excessive regulation is harmful to businesses which are usually in business to help people.

In the cited example, it was a low income housing project that never got off the ground because of excessive, overlapping regulation of local government, various interest boards, oversight committees, etc. And each had to exercise the power of their little feifdom, killing the project in the end.

In the other example it took 16 years to get a project approved.

If you see this as a good thing, whatever. I do not

Business and politics are inevitablely intertwined. I do try to keep it non political because in the end it's about making money. Not that I'm too good at that either. 😉

Only a bootlicker like yourself would advocate for less pay for your fellow American (are you even American?).

 

[ivwshane]

Did the bootlicker just say businesses are in business to help people?


Lol

 

[FelixDeCat]

Only a union member would advocate for pay based on body temperature, not merit.

 

[FelixDeCat]

I'm not against all city regulations. And perhaps the proposal could be narrowed down to just labor meddling.

Merit doesn’t mean shit to american businesses.

The money you suck off the labor of others is your only god. What a sad way to waste one's life.

Where's the /s

 

[MrSquished]

Holy shit yet ANOTHER evil republican sighting, this time one of the actual posters here on ATOT. My god it's becoming an epidemic!

 

[zinfamous]

he knows that the only reason these criminally low minimum wages exist is because the difference in pay is what finances his predatory lifestyle. It's where all that social wealth has been going for about 5 decades now. It allows him to exist. He can't have actual workers getting paid! That's HIS MONEY!

 

[zinfamous]

so how the fuck do you justify your unskilled, labor-vacant living?

In my opinion you caught in a vicious psychological dilemma. Here is how I see it:

Conservatives are conservative for reasons. One is that conservatives manifest behaviors that are ancient in origin and provide survival value for those who express those traits thus preserving them genetically. They saved our bacon before we developed forethought and future predictive analysis, rational analytic thinking. The former is an instantaneous reaction created by fear. One leaps instantaneously from the frying pan and if lucky it's not into the fire. Liberals are more able to suppress the fear reaction allowing them to spend precious time in the hot pan, but they are thus better able to survive a jump.

What does all of this have to do with anything? It's all about the relation of fear and how it affects our cognitive style. When children are exposed to threat, the fear of it triggers conservative thinking. Behaviors become constricted and life is full of taboos. It is a product of authoritarianism, Stockholm Syndrome and contempt for deviation heresy, etc. A conservative is someone who is strongly emotionally constricted, law and order motivated and the kind of people liberals hate because their emotional intolerance for difference is something liberals find ugly and contemptible.

The problem, then, is that conservatives are caught in a nasty catch 22. The more frightened they become of liberality, the closer to conscious awareness the price of their inner emotional constriction becomes, which threatens to evoke the same kind of rage liberals feel at attempts to repress and confine their inner freedoms. In an attempt to keep such feelings repressed they act out their repressive nature earning them the description by liberals of being contemptible deplorable and all of the rest of the shit liberals here will try to tar you with.

And the greater the abuse you face the greater your need to deflect that hatred will become. Thus in a way they create you and you create them, and all because we all needed love and support as children and didn't get it, some less than others.

So this is a cycle that recreates itself, I call the Wheel of Karma. There is no stopping that wheel. Only you can step off. Only you can see the hopelessness of striving to fix the world. Only you can relax and step off the wheel. There is nothing to fear because off the wheel life is perfect, they beauty of the universe unfolding.

In short you were bent by being called contemptible and now other insane people think they can fix you by the same means. You are bent by being put down and more putdowns will never fix you. Only love can fix you and it has to come from the Source, God of Love within you.
