I was gonna say, this post seems pretty disingenuous to blame “every public figurehead” for corporate greed. Maybe if we better taxed and regulated those companies this wouldn’t be happening. If only some public figureheads had literally that exact platform.
Passed House (03/03/2021)
For the People Act of2021
This bill addresses voter access, election integrity and security, campaign finance, and ethics for the three branches of government.
Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early
voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.
The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.
Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials,
supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in
the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the
cybersecurity of election systems.
Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring
additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising,
and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.
The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices,
prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and
ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.
The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.
It was a partisan DNC bill that immediately passed the house upon them gaining a majority.
And how exactly is this reforming finance? I’ve read the entire thing and don’t see a single thing that will change the current financial system in any meaningful way
“Printing” money is used as a colloquial umbrella term to cover all expansive monetary policy, but I have a feeling you already knew that captain pedantic
Corporate greedflation.

Considering greedy corporations are lobbying (bribing) public figure heads, it’s not far off.
Then the party of campaign and political finance reform would be the obvious choice.
lol oh is it? Which party is that again?
I don’t know what country you even live in, mate. If it’s the USA then look up “HR 1 For The People Act”.
Ok and? This act has nothing to do with financial reform.
If you think this changes anything then I have a bridge to sell you.
It literally does, though?

Let’s be real, the $13 trillion printed in the blink of an eye doesn’t help.
Would help a lot more if we had equitable distribution of wealth
We’re all equal in death

Wow, you can’t even understand a basic graph and what it covers. News flash, it’s NOT just printed currency.

Literally the main driver behind inflation recently has been profiteering.
You mean elastic customers?
