@krassenstein I travelled USA about 12 years ago after travelling Latin America. I was shocked at the homelessness in your country. It was everywhere. Talking to people about it there was a callous attitude that was stunning. It was appalling and depressing.
Corporate efficiency is fucking incredible. You fire half the workforce, make the remaining employees do three jobs, replace customer service with a chatbot that doesn't work, raise prices 20%, and give the CEO a $15 million bonus for improving productivity.
I am a scholar in the failed post civil war reconstruction, and I did my masters thesis on the damage that failure and unaccountable conservatives have done to this country for the last 150yrs to this day, and we are on a precipice here again. America must stop allowing capitalism to preclude democracy, and hold the robber barons, racists, murderers, and corrupt politicians accountable, or this “revolutionary” election doesn’t mean shit.
@AngusTaylorMP Call me crazy but I’m skeptical significant Middle East price increases directly effecting costs on farming, production, supply chains, transportation & driving, you know, things that impact every single person every single day multiple times a day, has had no impact on inflation
If you're looking for serious, actionable outcomes from this wave of warm and fuzzy news, allow me to introduce you to the new Attorney General for Texas, Nathan Johnson.
@Riley_Gaines_ Oversight is a congressional responsibility. Since Mikey dropped the ball these past two years you should be happy democrats are willing to pick up the slack. Might be nice to find out what’s actually going on.
You know how Trumps war has destabilised the Middle East and increased fuel prices in America…
Well you’re not the be all and end in this world…. The entire freaking planet has been impacted.
Just one point on a very long list.
@BarbaraPocock If you tax them they'll just increase the price more. We need controls around excessive profit increases when inflation is a problem. Wouldn't complain if we added a new tax bracket for the uber wealthy too
@Peter_Fitz MAGA was borne from economic imbalance. It may be dormant but it will not disappear until govns stop living in fear of saying no to really really rich people and starts investing in society.
