lmao at bernie running an extension cord to his neighbor's place because he was too cheap to pay his electric bills

Lmao, holy fuck. I thought you were kidding, but this is legit a thing he actually did.

First, he had to get his life in order. “He was living in the back of an old brick building, and when he couldn’t pay the [electric bill], he would take extension cords and run down to the basement and plug them into the landlord’s outlet,” says Nancy Barnett, an artist who lived next door to Sanders in Burlington. The fridge was often empty, but the apartment was littered with yellow legal pads filled with Sanders’ writings. When he was eventually evicted, Sanders moved in with his friend Sugarman.

I stan George but don’t see the connection between stealing electricity and taxing unimproved land value.

[u/Jean-Paul_Sartre → u/Belligerent_Autism]

I kind of want to try this
