Only we don't have a left in the USA, we have neoliberals and fascists who run and win elections. So I'm not surprised that Harris' policy is a weak wet fart based on wine cave vibes.
I've said it before but a billionaire like Musk could end homelessness and then hang up his hat as a hero to millions but instead he wants to post fake stats about black people's IQs on the social media platform he's losing billions on that what he paid could have housed all our vulnerable.
OH WELL

He'd become more powerful, too. Doing something like this would create an army of loyalists who would vote for him if he ran for office or would defend his products. Bill Gates has completely laundered his reputation by not even ending illnesses, but simply providing some people with vaccines. Doing something as radical as ending homelessness in the US would give Elon complete impunity to do whatever ghoulish shit he could come up with.
Or look at W. Bush who was nice to Michelle Obama and all is forgiven.
lol now I can imagine Elon out in a cybertruck with a sign on it that says "free candy." Totally not a child predator, just free candy for the kids.
I'm really excited for Madam Harris to win and I get a $200 Applebess gift card for opening a dog grooming salon in a flood zone in a urban developing city with exactly 250,000 people and a mall that faces south east.
But that's communism no food and on a slightly less memey basis it'd be a 1% drop in the increasing rate of profit for the vampires, so can't have that, even for long term stability.
If covid making capitalism show how the whole game is set up and people didn't revolt then, I highly doubt nothing will. We're even willing to sacrifice kids in school shootings to appease the line.
I try not to be doomer myself either but I like to look at the situation realistically and it's not looking hot for revolution in the imperial core.
