Illinois has terrible politics but genuinely surprised by Pritzker.
he’s not heavy, he’s my governor
Ah, fdr
Well it seems at least one member of the capitalist class remembers how they maintained their wealth and avoided revolution by throwing the workers a bone every now and again
i’m completely surprised by him too. hes actually like, really good governor. maybe the best of all 50 states currently?
I think its a mix. You can’t really accumulate the political capital to get much positive stuff done if you can’t get anything through the legislature.
I mean, is local thingy passing good laws due to electing not-evil local reps, or is he going around bullying them? So, where are the origins basically
He’s done some good work on the executive level—pardoned a bunch of people w/ marijuana convictions and expunged arrest records. Of course “good” is relative in :amerikkka:
Maybe he’s one of those libertarians who believe that “gay couple should be able to grow weed and own AR15s”
The guy in Minnesota just made them a trans refuge state last week. Admittedly I don’t know anything else about him.
Friendly reminder that most of Europe has TWENTY FIVE DAYS MANDATORY PAID TIME OFF PER YEAR and still gets 11 holidays in addition. Fuck this rat race in the US.
It makes fun of the French in particular but it’s my favorite, funny pro-America work/life thing.
