    You’re not allowed to point out how the best possible outcome in this system is still unacceptable because we’re getting the best possible outcome in this system.

    I am euphoric at how inconsistent you are being

      Please read all my comments in this thread and provide me examples of my inconsistency.

      System is broken and needs fixing. This guy is trying to fix it. I agree this is a small step, but also believe its a step in the right direction and an example of a politician putting his money where his mouth is, all too rare these days.

      I’m not “blue no matter who,” I’m saying look at the active track record of the political figure in question and then with receipts tell me how this is something actually worth criticizing like a New York Post writer. “His policies are not exactly what I want verbatim so I’m gonna throw a Libertarian-style hissy fit because I’m more right than you!”

      Man is making moves people in one of the biggest cities on the planet actively approve of in ways that ease the financial burdens of working people. If I have to go searching through three screens to tip somebody through an online app then in all reality I probably won’t 9 out of 10 times. Which means more of my money goes to corporations where I never see it again versus into the actual economy where the actual value of that dollar continues to accrue as it circulates amongst the masses.

      Let me reiterate from my top comment here: Perfect cannot be the enemy of good when the system is so wildly stacked against us. Every bit of progress in the right direction is a fight for an inch we no longer have to worry about later. That is how movements build momentum.

        I was mocking you for calling actions completely consistent with their ideology inconsistent.

        That’s why I used a quotation.

        System is broken and needs fixing. This guy is trying to fix it.

        The system doesn’t need fixing, it needs replacing. You cannot “fix” capitalism. The thing it does is the point of it.
