He's trying real hard to save his ass next year. He's basically a pussy, but he may want to be reelected bad enough to do some non-pussy things.

Which would you rather have, Gavin Newsome or Abbott?
Today, I was literally assaulted by two teenage girls. Maybe they were offended by my Rogue/American Made t-shirt, I don't know.
As they were throwing rocks at me and giving me the finger, I just kept walking to my old Jeep in disbelief.
I might be getting older, but I'm still pretty strong, and around 210.
How the hell do two 100 pound teen girls think they can pull this crap??
Eh, not familiar enough about either, I'll take Kristi...
You're not familiar with either Gavin Newsome or Greg Abbott, yet you ask "Aren't they all?" Might be time for you to read more and type less. Take a few days off to catch up.

The no true free market fallacy is no different than the no true socialism fallacy.
Both groups argue that something that doe not and cannot exist would work.
I asked for evidence...rhetorically, of course...because I know it doesn't exist.
You claim that something that doesn't exist (free markets) would have prevented a problem that actually does exist.
Just because these industries have corrupt and/or overbearing government regulations doesn't mean that lack of any regulation at all would not lead to similar, if not the very same problem.
Free markets (which don't exist) not causing a particular problem doesn't = Free markets (which don't exist) could prevent or cure it.
That is not some logical given. It's a logical fallacy.
There is no historical example of where the free market prevented the super rich from monopolizing anything they wished.
And it doesn't matter if it is China's government or Chinese Millionaires who buys all those houses and drive up the prices on paper because they are the same people running things. Just like here.
There is no free market answer to China (or anyone else) buying up properties and driving up prices to create a world full of renters. Anyone who could possible "compete" with them will create the same problem. Names on the deeds will be the only difference.
The government regulation/free market dichotomy is a false one. It is as ludicrous as the democracy/freedom link. Both free markets and democracy are used tools to become the the government powers. And then they pull the ladder up behind themselves.
Experience. That's how.
They got away with it, right?
