i wanna like marianne. there's plenty of things i do like about her. but either she's brainwashed or still holding out for a cushy establishment job bc she damn well ought to know the answer to all these questions.
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? 🤔

The answer to your question in that retweet is that Joe Biden, who you spent two hours campaigning for on Katie Halper btw, represents powerful interests that do not care about wages or healthcare access, and in fact, need to ensure that they remain impossible. Not complex.

America needs for jobs and wages and access to healthcare to be scarce to ensure that they can funnel the poor into the military to achieve these things. Otherwise we would have to have a draft, and the Empire rationales for war would all crumble.
