I am still a sort of Keynesian. But the progressive left screws things up. Basically, it breaks down to people who are socialist totalitarians(commies) being contributed to by super rich doyens who fund the party and candidates, in an exchange of cash for influence. Are we any better? Well part of the agreement of John Maynard Keynes was you big businesses make the cash, and we'll distribute a part of it to ensure societal stability. Societal stability produces an environment conducive to making mo' money, mo' money, mo' money, which something many of us like. So, we're whores like the rest of you. The checks from the American Petroleum Institute cash nicely as Tom Steyer's checks do. Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago and Di Blasio of NYC have not followed this understanding, and thus, an increase in crime is thus feeding my Team's popularity. Crime is 2nd only to inflation as a national concern. An example of this is how the Soros family (Huge DNC contributor) finds city elections for DA's who are very sympathetic to the plight of the criminal. This has increased crimes worryingly fast! Using The Guardian as a factoid rather than assaulting you two with Fox (the horror!).
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/25/homicide-violence-against-black-women-us and of course WaPo https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/08/crime-midterms-democrats/ If I was one of Joey's people I would advise him to announce a tough on crime thing and tell George to pipe down. But its not my place, and since I ain't dropping 500K in their laps why should they listen for even a second? Summary, is that simply getting pro-criminal DA's elected (an in the Party this works!) is not a wise idea. It has gotten much more people killed than otherwise, with a 'tough on crime' policy would have. For economics, I ponder what QC and AI will do? Will the algorithms of our dreams yield darkness or light? Yeah, blah bah blah....

Sadly that has not been my experience, I know many who called them selves "libertarians" that are Trump supporters despite the fact that Trump is the most anti-libertarian president in American history, don't ask me why. But maybe you just hang around a better class of libertarians than I do.
