Entirely agree, they deserve absolutely no pity, especially since it’s mostly their capital owners that will loose the most.

As you stated the issue in the end is how hard are we ready to fight for it

For sure it will be beneficial for many industries but I’d argue that it will severely impact (in a positive way) the transport industry, and the oil and gas industry as well. Since they have the strongest lobbying force, it’s going to be quite hard to go against them.

Moreover, it may upset the distribution chains e.g., it might be hard to do « right-on-time » stock management when waiting for a train to be fully loaded before chipping, etc.

In my opinion, money will circulate better, but to the detriment of those big industry, hence why it’s so hard for politicians to act on it.

Yeah, public transport is the most viable solution for the masses, but that also mean taking money out of the ends of firms (subsidies, infrastructure, etc.), which is not gonna happen without re-thinking our economy

Europe sure has a big resurgence in right wing politics, however a socialist left is still represented (albeit on the decline).

I’m not stating that there is a socialist paradise somewhere, just that in the US you can hardly consider the left “left” (Overton window, yadi yada)

Just be take a short trip to any country outside the US and you’ll realize that it is indeed the case: No left in the US.
