They raised taxes to pay for a temporary jail for the World Cup and it won’t be ready to open until the tournament is over. There’s always a jail angle.

This interests me for three reasons: 1) it is the kind of ambitious policy vision we need to see; 2) it models its assumptions and clearly explains them; 3) there are no notable US politicians speaking at the World Inequality Conference. We need leaders who are relevant voices in exactly these conversations.
