Law requiring all prices to be in a format of
$ per actual measurement unit and include all applicable taxes.
Absolutely it’s very frustrating watching them try to do so much only to have it curtailed by a Republican majority Congress.
People think the president can issue an executive order for anything they want but the reality is every time you make that choice there’s a ripple effect politically and you have to be smart about when to do it.
That being said I hope his cabinet does move on proposing this because it would be a huge win for pricing transparency.

It was more frustrating two years ago when it was being curtailed by a Democratic majority congress.
Yeah well Dems stopping tax cuts for the rich don’t hurt us as much
Who said anything about them stopping tax cuts for the rich? I was talking about stuff Democrats did 2 years ago, like stopping the minimum wage increase and BBB. You know, their accomplishments.
How in the world can you contribute that to the Dems when they were split and Republicans almost unanimously voted against it.
If you’re issue is that they should have all voted to push it through then absolutely I wish they would too and you should vote in a way that reinforces what you’d like to see.
That being said of our two options Dems support it the most and if you’re argument is that would should have more options to vote for what we really want then we agree again, we need voter reform to make 3rd options viable via multi-choice voting

BBB never made it to the floor, thanks to the only Democrat whose voice matters, Joe Manchin.

My issue is that the party is useless on purpose. Your issue is that I don’t worship them for it.
I wish they would too and you should vote in a way that reinforces what you’d like to see.
There is no available way to vote that will ever reinforce what I’d like to see. Democrats oppose me less than Republicans do and that’s the best they’ll ever be willing to do.
Based insane take divorced from reality.
What in my reply made it seem like I worship them, they’re the best we have and I long for better way but the only way we’re going to get better is voteing reform on many levels.
Voting in fascists out of spite does no good.
And predictable as the dawn, there it is.
The assumption that anger at Democrats’ deliberate uselessness means advocacy for voting for Republicans.
the solution you suggest
What solution did I suggest?
Oh right. You don’t care. You don’t want to listen, just lecture.
Your responses were implicit that the only way to teach Democrats was to either vote Republican or third party.
Of course you did not come out and say this because you take a hard line stance on nothing instead of playing contrary to everyone else.
Because as I’ve said before you only deflect you don’t actually State what you believe. The entire time we’ve talked all you’ve done is call down existing institutions without offering up any axle solutions and anytime one is presented you deflect.

Hogwash. Democrats will never learn, and teaching them is a fool’s errand. You seem to be operating under the misguided and all-too-common assumption that anyone who is critical of Democrats in the slightest is somehow in favor of Republicans or not voting.
Democrats are shit on purpose, and if that ever stops being true, I’ll stop saying it.
