Don't use an iphone if you don't like it, don't use tiktok if you don't like it. It's really very simple, the government has no role in either case.

Of course the government is willing to pay, it's a grift. The union is shaking down the taxpayer, the politicians are buying union votes with the taxpayer's money.

Building more types of housing. It's simple - allow people to build, allow denser construction, allow smaller apartments, etc. Hell most of NYC would not be allowed to be built today because the apartments are too small -- yet these
