      How Wall St. Is Subtly Shaping the Harris Economic Agenda

      The vice president has repeatedly incorporated suggestions from business executives into her economic agenda.

      Paul Grewal, the chief legal officer at Coinbase, a crypto exchange, said he had spoken several times with top aides to Ms. Harris. He, along with other crypto executives, sat down with Mr. Nelson, Ms. Harris’s confidant, on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.

      Mr. Cuban, for his part, sees Ms. Harris as a total break from Mr. Biden’s Democratic Party.

      “She says she’s open to inputs from independents and Republicans, she means it. She truly is open minded. I’ve put some wild things in her direction that they don’t laugh at,” he said. “People are trying to say, ‘Here are the progressive and liberal principles that have always been the principles of the Democratic Party.’ Those are gone. It’s Kamala Harris’s party now.”

    Loving all the weaseling here

    It’s not providing education training, it’s supporting

    Not mentioning getting the men already in prison for cannabis charges out

    Protecting cryptocurrency

    Fuck, if they actually cared about the issues that predominantly affect black men, they’d do something about the Pigs or the Chuds

    But they don’t and they won’t

    “Launch a national health initiative focused on the illnesses that disproportionately affect black men”

    So they’ll talk about sickle cell anemia a bit before refusing to do anything about it.

    $20k is barely rent for half a year in a small apartment. Let alone securing a building, or making a viable product or hiring employees.

    Here’s another springboard into unfathomable debt! jokermala

      You’re thinking too ambitiously. Our aspirations are supposed to top out at “eBay Dropshipper.”

    What weird American terminology is a “forgivable” loan? Is that a grant with extra steps? Or a recognition that no loan scheme works and they’ll eventually have to give up chasing repayment on half of them?

      It’s a closing cost on a 200k-$2M financing needed to actually start a buisness.

      You know how people are gunshy about gov loans because the whole student debt can’t be discharged in brankruptcy? Well now we’re trying to sell START A BUISNESS to compete in a broken and senseless market and has a 90% chance of going bankrupt anyways. So the closing costs on the financing can be forgiven, twisted but not the other 90%

    Why are they formating their policy suggestions to look like a computer bluescreen? I mean, it works for me, I think they are making bad policy decisions that really do indicate that this administration has encountered a critical error and will need to be shut down, but I didn’t get to pick the design. And somehow I don’t think that they chose this horrific visual design out of pure honesty.

      Lowkey hope he keeps doing that, it’s such a Hillary Clinton 2016 non-starter type argument for so many people, guaranteed to cost Kamala the election

      These reptilians really can’t help but indulge in their worst instincts this election, they’re so peeved that people are talking back to their ghoulish asses that they’re throwing all political sense out the window

    Any “opportunity agenda for black men” that doesn’t include reparations (with interest) is an insult
