The biggest problem with the British electorate is they want American tax rates and Scandinavian public services but somehow can’t envisage that those two things aren’t compatible

Useful info for Californians: street homelessness in Britain had almost been completely ended, until the government this guy worked for came to power, then it rose every year they were in office. We still havent recovered from the damage they did.

Britain if we built some reservoirs
Exclusive:
Public swimming pools and car washes in parts of southern England face closure within days because of severe drought.
The Defra secretary Angela Eagle will decide next week whether to impose “non-essential use bans” in West Sussex and Somerset at the request of two water companies.
She has sped up the process because of severely low reservoir levels. It would be the first time the bans have been used in Britain for 20 years.
The restrictions would stop any businesses from using excessive water for non-essential services. They would effectively shut down all car washes and swimming pools in the areas and business owners may be eligible for compensation.
Defra officials believe that without heavy rain this winter, reservoirs won’t return to normal levels before next summer.

“I’m a capitalist and also a Democratic socialist”
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.
