Shelley’s idea (from Bernie Sanders): break up the Build Back Better Act into single issue components. Once a week, introduce a bill in the House for one of the components, pass it, send up to the Senate where it’ll die. Each Friday, hold a press conference describing the bill and it’s content, identifying it as having been killed by the Republicans in the Senate (and any other members), and preview the next week’s bill. Get the media talking about each issue as it comes up. Challenge the Republicans to introduce their solution or tell people why the issue is not a problem that needs solving.

Start now, and run through November. Make it clear what the choice is.

The Internet giants are a whole bunch of middlemen. Amazon doesn’t make stuff, they sell it to you and deliver it; sort of a bad Sears Roebuck (at least they had installation and repair services, and you could buy an entire house through their catalog along with everything in it). Google don’t make stuff, they find it. Facebook doesn’t make stuff, they let you share your own stuff. All of these guys wait for someone else to make something compelling, then buy it or copy it and “monetize” it.

You gotta wonder how long it takes people to realize they don’t need these guys.
