I wonder if populists know that their policies are bad.

Wealth is very difficult and even humiliating to measure. It would be better to tax specific assets. It should be obvious why a one-time tax is irresponsible.

Public grocery stores are a really stupid idea because it’s expensive and not targeted. Just send the money to the people who need it and they can use it to shop where they want.

My sentiment toward Emily Lowan isn’t negative cause shes young (only 4 years older than me!) and its the Green party. Also I was impressed with her debate performance. Also her outfits are pretty cool.

But it’s weird that there are all these party leaders who either don’t care that their ideas are bad or don’t care enough to find out that they are bad. Cause factually they are bad (alternatives exist that accomplish the same goals better) and it reduces the quality of debate to have them proposed.
