@bradenslen So much for Republicans hating on socialism LOL. This is literally it aka controlling means of production.

@pratik I don’t know if it’s quite socialism. They aren’t nationalizing GM; rather the government is following the plan from WWII—coordinating manufacturing on a national level. Even Hayek made an exception for that—when it’s clear that everyone has the same goal (currently not dying), central planning is more effective than the market. //@bradenslen

@Bruce I know 😊 I was just pointing out the hypocrisy. Far less measures have been called socialism by Repubs.

@Bruce @pratik I shed no tears for GM. They just better not drag their feet on this because we are weeks behind already.
