I was watching Jon's interview with High Jackman, comparing the USA with Australia on Progressive issues.
Jackman's "take" was that it's one thing to get legislation passed with a small population, but it's quite another with a large population.
He compared it to turning an ox in the middle of the road.
The imagery came to mind - do you shoot the ox because he's not turning fast enough?

So what was Jackman saying about progressive issues? Hugh must have a tax policy in mind for his class, I don't see anything progressive about the recent election results in Australia. The ballot was so long they issued magnifying glasses at polling places. That is not a joke, but a fact.
