I get that infrastructure is important. I really do. But what happened to an increase in the minimum wage? What happened to fighting climate change? What happened to Medicare For All? What happened to countering police brutality? What happened to holding Trump accountable? 馃

Same with making #JuneTeenth2021 a holiday. It's great, but it's mostly an insult. A holiday is not at all what was being asked for and was certainly not in any way a priority compared to the ongoing police brutality and all the rest...

Infrastructure feeds into big industry. Basically, kickbacks. This is about kickbacks.

What makes you think we're going to get an infrastructure bill?

What happened to all those elected on these platforms is the better question.

The political shell game doesn鈥檛 allow for things to actually get done. Rather, it is focussed on distracting constituents with a constantly changing series of issues.

None of those things funnel more public $$$ to the owners of the corps who will be bidding on each & every infrastructure project or will serve to make the rich richer. Which means, no real support from either branch.

Same thing that happens every 4 years... Time to build a new system that's actually governed by the people. SEEDS provides an economic system that's designed to regenerate our planet and communities and is govenaned directly by the people!
