    The problems with deciding things are “equal-ish” have already been well addressed, so I just want to point out - just because the billionaire class might use a topic as a wedge issue against us doesn’t excuse us from working to fix it.

    They might be setting fire to houses as a distraction, but the houses are still on fire. The people inside can’t wait for us to find and deal with whoever hired the arsonists.

      I completely agree with you, and that’s a great analogy.

      Cartoons like this post aren’t helping the firemen and women though. And if it isn’t helping them, who is it helping?
