AT&T are established utility monopolies. There is simply no comparison here. When Amazon owns the roads, or when they put UPS & FedEx out of business, then we can start making these comparisons.

Take it from a progressive: this is false.

We lean towards stability for low-income populations. An ability to live somewhere, accumulate relationships, and find a stable job, without being thrust into homelessness any moment at the will of enterprise.

Above all else, we support real public housing, maintained by democratic institutions. Our numbers are growing at record rate lately, so if you want to build density, do it like this. Our armies of enthusiasm will be right by your side.
