I think set asides are bad, but I would agree to some to liberalize zoning. If the set aside requirements are small they're shown to simply not do anything at all really, which I'm okay with if we can pass something good along side it ROD posted... lmao it's so easy to shit on the upper middle class and the upper (wealthy, but not uber-rich) class. You want to hear about rigging? Crying wolf about a fake STEM shortage to oversupply the labor market. Bringing super-cheap labor from overseas to undercut wages . Lobbying to change laws as its suits them (e.g. so toxic pesticides can be used, public health be damned), stupid ass monopolistic practices, and shit like what airlines can get away with ("oh hai! I will sell u a ticket, then beat the fuck out of you while you're sitting on your assigned seat, drag you off the plane and not offer an apologies or refunds unless public outrage forces me to"), that's far worse. Billionaires rig things in much, much worse ways, but hey, let's bully the upper-middle class and wealthier individuals, they're the perfect escape goats. Plenty of people are already mad at billionares though --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:881002733] in good artic...
