Particularly from 1981 on, through corporate lobbyists and the merging of various ideological perspectives from both the Republican and Democratic parties, the new lower tax system for the wealthy and for corporations took shape.

The New York City steam system includes Con Edison's Steam Operations, a piped steam system which provides steam to large parts of Manhattan. Other smaller systems provide steam to New York University and Columbia University, and many individual buildings in New York City also have their own steam systems. The steam is used to heat and cool buildings and for cleaning and disinfecting. It is the largest such system in the world and has been in operation since 1882.

Shapiro Platform

Shapiro has said that as governor he will protect abortion access in Pennsylvania and veto any bill the state legislature passes that outlaws abortion.[63] In contrast, Mastriano said he would support outlawing abortion in Pennsylvania without any exceptions, including in cases of rape or the mother's life being at risk.[64]

Before running for governor, Shapiro had supported capital punishment for what he called "heinous crimes". During his campaign, he announced that he now favored abolishing the death penalty in Pennsylvania, a reversal of his previous position.[58] Shapiro was asked in a 2022 interview with Pennsylvania Capital-Star why his position changed, to which he responded:

[The] question is a fair one ... When I ran for [attorney general] in 2016, I said that the death penalty should be reserved for the most heinous of crimes. But then I got elected attorney general and I saw these cases come across my desk. I got closer to a system that I thought was in need of reform. And as attorney general I never once sought the death penalty. As governor, I'd be in a policymaking role, together with the Legislature ... and I thought it was important when asked to state my position unequivocally that I would sign legislation to abolish the death penalty.

Shapiro also said he would not sign any future death warrants for prisoners on death row.[65]

Shapiro supports cutting Pennsylvania's nearly 10 percent corporate tax rate to 4 percent by 2025. He has proposed hiring 2,000 additional police officers across Pennsylvania, saying, the "more police officers we hire, the more opportunities we have for them to get out of their patrol cars, walk the beat, learn the names of the kids in the communities".[66] Shapiro favors pardoning those convicted for possession of small amount of marijuana.[67]

On efforts to mitigate COVID-19, Shapiro has broken with some in the Democratic Party and opposes mask and vaccine mandates.[68] He prefers educating the public about vaccines' efficacy.[68] Shapiro is also skeptical about Pennsylvania joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a market-based program to reduce some greenhouse gas emissions.[69] He has proposed expanding Pennsylvania's clean energy portfolio for utility companies, greater electric car infrastructure and investing in clean energy research and development.[70] Shapiro supports a Lifeline Scholarship bill, which creates education savings accounts for children in failing public schools that can be spent on approved expenses including tutoring, instructional materials and private school tuition.[71]

Shapiro has proposed a plan that will allow for a $250 gas tax refund per personal passenger vehicle up to four vehicles per household. He proposed funding the proposal with funds from the American Rescue Plan.[72] On the issue of vocational training, Shapiro has proposed increasing career and technical training in high schools, tripling state funding for apprenticeships and union skills programs, and creating a Pennsylvania office of workforce development.[73][74] He also supports eliminating four-year degree requirements for state government jobs.[74] Shapiro is a supporter of unions and has vowed to veto any "right to work" legislation.[75]

Cooper

Roy Asberry Cooper III (born June 13, 1957) is an American attorney and politician serving as the 75th governor of North Carolina since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 49th attorney general of North Carolina from 2001 to 2017 and in the North Carolina General Assembly in both the House of Representatives and Senate from 1987 to 2001.[1]

Cooper graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1979. He began his career as a lawyer and in 1986 was elected to represent the 72nd district in the North Carolina House of Representatives. In 1991, he was appointed a member of the North Carolina Senate, a position he held until 2001. He was elected North Carolina Attorney General in 2000 and reelected in 2004, 2008, and 2012, serving just under 16 years, the second-longest tenure for an attorney general in the state's history.

Cooper defeated Republican incumbent Pat McCrory for the governorship in a close race in the 2016 election.[2] This election made Cooper the first challenger to defeat a sitting governor in the state's history with Cooper going on to win reelection in 2020 against Republican nominee and Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest.[3] While the Republican-dominated legislature passed bills in a special session to reduce the power of the governor's office prior to his taking office, Cooper continued to emphasize increases in education and healthcare funding throughout his tenure, ultimately culminating in his successful negotiations of state-wide Medicaid expansion.

Cooper has been named as a possible running mate for Kamala Harris upon her starting her 2024 campaign for president.[4][5]

not sure anyone that has ever run to be or has been president that publicly stated their support of the LGBTQ+ community so openly

fingers crossed Kamala will actually bring much needed change if elected

hells yes think she could

Politicians ranging from conservatives such as DeSantis to liberals such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont have long pushed for importing lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada.

if both sides want cheaper drugs why not work together to make that happen by regulating big pharma and pushing for things like universal healthcare

fact that they don't just proves where their paychecks come from

the US has not had a proworker president in a long time

As a United States dissident fuck this country

Only goal in this country has been oppression of citizens so as to have a stock of warm bodies to fill the factories, restaurants, ecectera since the start

Same reason Republicans got Roe v Wade overturned and the same reason Democrats never defended it

Also same reason neither party has pushed for living wages and of course students have to go especially the college taught ones because they might disrupt the system with all that new found knowledge

Pollution is also kept high because it breeds low class pull up by your own bootstraps bubba spitting rednecks that will help continue the narrative of the system as well as provide a stable slave labor workforce

Education funding is kept at abysmally low levels for the same reasons

Constant crapper drain that for the citizens never ends but constantly churns out products for consumption for the small population actually running things

Eventually it be the same as that short story by the Chinese author that is about the last capitalist

About a dude that buys everything on the planet including air which he generously sells back to all the citizens who are unable to afford to go outside because they don't own the land or air as well as selling other resources which no one can go without with police being used to protect the interests/property of the last capitalist

Eventually the benevolent capitalist builds a space ship very economically including cryotubes because he did not include enough air or air makers for the ship and proceeds to evict everyone off his planet earth

I Approve This Message

Kamala Harris

“It’s like the people have spoken and this is what America looks like,” said Smith, the Los Angeles-based founder of the advocacy social media agency, Get Social. “And there’s not too much more fighting that you’re going to be able to do without losing your own sanity.”

definitely a real feeling

it is what America has been looking like for far too long

after all other options are exhausted civil disobedience is the only thing left

examples would include handing about abortion pills in illegal states

trump rocking the 'blowing bill look'
