Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

I can’t stop thinking about how the ACA is one of the most impactful pieces of legislation in my lifetime.
And they just let them throw it away.
I know it’s been long enough that a lot of people don’t remember (or weren’t alive), but I haven’t forgotten what it was like Before.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
