"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says it's "wrong" that billionaires exist in a country where there's extreme poverty. Unsurprisingly, one massive gathering of international billionaires isn't thrilled.
Ocasio-Cortez is among a wave of progressives proposing big changes to fight economic inequality, notably mentioning a "60 or 70 percent" marginal tax rate on America's top earners. That proposal has drawn harsh criticism from conservatives, and got similar feedback when posed to the super-rich gathered in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum on Wednesday."*

This is a big deal in my estimation if you know if it happens. and I don't know if I think it will happen. But here is Gavin Newsom announcing that they're going to spend 100 million dollars in the budget. In California. california to produce insulin. and the closest we've gotten to this is the VA will do this with a couple generic drugs if there's a shortage. They never talk about it. because there's no one it's in you know no one who's doing that it's in their interest to publicize it. because they don't want to keep their head down. And if I remember correctly Elizabeth Warren had a proposal to also have the government produce some generic drugs if there was a shortage. but no one has come anywhere close to we're just going to take this one class of generic drugs insulin that was actually designed with trying to keep it generic in perpetuity I think by the Canadian who developed it. and this is you know it's a 100-year-old drug I think it is now. and this I think is a big big deal. listen to this. On my first day in office, I signed an executive order to put California on the path toward creating our own prescription drugs. and now it's happening. California is going to make its own insulin. nothing. Nothing epitomizes market failures more than the cost of insulin. Many Americans experience out-of-pocket costs anywhere from 300 to 500 per month for this life-saving drug. California is now taking matters into its own hands. the budget I just signed sets aside 100 million dollars so we can contract to make our own insulin at a cheaper price close to cost and to make it available to all. 50 million will go towards the development of low-cost insulin products an additional 50 million will go towards a California-based insulin manufacturing facility that will provide new high-paying jobs and a stronger supply chain for the drug. because in California we know people should not go into debt to receive life-saving medication.

The Senate will vote today on a new stimulus package to help the American people cope with the coronavirus, but Mitch McConnell is up to his usual tricks -- largely trying to push through a bill that mostly helps big corporations.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is quietly asking for new, draconian powers in the middle of the crisis, including the ability to indefinitely detain people without a trial.
And lastly, our wise president fired off an all-caps tweet late on Sunday night that appears to be catering to a new right-wing theory that saving the lives of millions isn’t worth tanking the economy through quarantines and lockdowns.

TimCast contributor Ian Crossland says he thinks that, in the grand scheme of things, Kanye West will be "...looked at as someone who saved the Jews." He references a segment That Gavin McInnes Did Where McInnes claims there's a difference between devoutly religious Jews and more secular Jews who are offended by what Kanye said. Tim Pool can't believe what he's hearing from Ian, and tries to dispute his claims.
