This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Hey if you had the chance to spend $1.5 billion in a few months wouldn't you take it
I would have spent 1.5 billions just paying people's debts and saying "brought to you by the Kamala Harris campaign".
Yo, somebody get this Marxist a strategy position somewhere. That's a fucking amazing idea
The Democratic institution would never stand for giving collected funds to anyone but rich people.
It would make a good strategy for the PSL though. Now that they've gotten 0.1% of the vote, instead of running a conventional campaign, they could do 20% what they've already been doing, and 80% "this debt has been forgiven of you by the PSL, vote for us" and build a reputation as the people who go around forgiving debt (instead of the people who show up at all the peaceful protests with those yellow-and-black signs).
Tbh that seems very illegal. Not that laws apply to ruling class
IIRC you can buy lots of kinds of debt for cheap (though not most student debt), and then could just discharge it.
E: Might need to have a registered corporation or something but fuck they have $1.5B they can set that up.
Its surprisingly easy apparently

John Oliver did the biggest debt relief thing ages ago. Just bought loads of abandonded debt for cheap and declared that he wouldn't pursue it. He sucks, but that was pretty cool and funny. Here's the relevant bit

Id spend it on furry commisions
Why do you think there's so many hyena harrises floating around?
Brewsters millions but worse
A rare film where the remake was better
I think that's a modern issue really. Plenty of good/better/equal remakes around. Scarface for example.
Just none from current time
For sure.
It seems like what's missing in modern remakes is a willingness to try something new and in the present context. But I have a hunch it's less so film makers wanting to and more so studios wanting a guarantee on return.
Good art tends not to work that way. It's always going to involve risk.
