The sub headers of Infrastructure and payment under the political positions section are misformatted. They should be bolded. Wtinguely (talk) 18:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Per MOS:BOLD, bolding section headers causes excessive double-bold fonts. Liu1126 (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jill Stein's Policies - Specifically on Economy[edit]

Old Text. Economy In her various political campaigns, Stein supported industry nationalization and guaranteed employment. In 2015, Stein was critical of official employment numbers, saying that unemployment figures were "designed to essentially cover up unemployment," and that the real unemployment rate for that year was around 12–13%. In February 2016, she said that "real unemployment is nearly 10%, 2x as high as the official rate."

New Text. Economy

In her various political campaigns, Stein supported some industry nationalization and guaranteed employment.  Specifically:  “we need grassroots democratic control of the resources of society.  Nationalizing failed banks and the automobile industry can be one step toward filling those needs. Our government and our economy must focus on the needs and potentials of people and the planet – instead of serving a wealthy few.” ([https://web.archive.org/web/20141019035142/http:/greenpapers.net/jobs-for-all-with-a-green-new-deal/ https://web.archive.org/web/20141019035142/http://greenpapers.net/jobs-for-all-with-a-green-new-deal/  )

During her 2012 and 2016 presidential runs, Stein called for "nationalizing" and "democratiz[ing]" the Federal Reserve, placing it under a Federal Monetary Authority in the Treasury Department and ending its independence. She supported the creation of nonprofit publicly owned banks, pledging to create such entities at the federal and state levels.  In a 2016 interview Stein said she believed in having "the government as the employer of last resort."  Stein's 2016 platform pledged to guarantee housing but did not offer specifics.

Green New Deal

Referring to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal approach to the Great Depression, Stein advocated the Green New Deal in her 2012 and 2016 campaigns, in which renewable energy jobs would be created to address climate change and environmental issues; the objective would be to employ "every American willing and able to work."  Stein said that it would be "through a community decision-making process."

In the lead, please change "which accounted for .36% of the popular vote" to "which accounted for 0.36% of the popular vote". To anybody with less than perfect vision, it looks like 36%. 2001:BB6:47ED:FA58:F9C3:BBA3:F69D:A540 (talk) 08:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
