Alex, what did you mean earlier when you said progressives want you to be poor? I
00:00:03
I may be paraphrasing. The modern progressive movement is clearly not progressive. Progressive is
00:00:10
defined by the working class do better tomorrow than they did today and know it,
00:00:18
right? To do that, you need things that you can do at scale now. vocational training on
00:00:23
AI based systems, making our laborers more valuable, obviously closing the border so that you don't reduce the
00:00:30
amount that you pay people and also eviscerate legal protections. This is not progressive. It's not progressive,
00:00:38
by the way, to have so little competence or willing to use force that we get overrun by drugs. Who do those drugs go
00:00:45
to? Disproportionately poor people of color. It's not progressive to have crime rates. You know, to be a war zone, you
00:00:51
have to have five deaths per 100 thousand. That's like half our cities. How's that progressive?
