I just think we've spent too many years praying at the idiot altar of trickle down economics. Tax the living hell out of the fucking billionaires already and redistribute the giant piles of gold those asshole dragons are sitting on with public housing and public funded works projects.

I am a proponent of MAID, but I find it extremely disturbing that we're opening up MAID to conditions that aren't even covered under our social health system. We are openly saying that we consider mental health issues too expensive to treat and would prefer that people with these conditions just die already. Social supports for people with disabilities and expanding health care to include mental health coverage should absolutely be part of this, or we're just being murderous ghouls as a society.

To be clear, I love this thing and would love to have one if this city had a) infrastructure that could support it and b) enough of a social support system that the constant bike theft wasn't just a daily part of life here.
