When I read that the Saline data center will use 20-30,000 gallons of water a day, I think of the Ford Model T plant in Highland Park that convinced the city to build it a water supply so the factory could use 30,000,000 gallons a day for its turbines. Ford moved not long after.

Wow.

Corporate profits are taking the biggest chunk of America's total income since the early 1950s.

And worker compensation is making up a historically low share.

This is the economy that decades of trickle-down tax breaks for the rich and corporations has given us.

Connecticut enacted a major new hospital oversight law.

Gov. Lamont signed SB 196, which bars private equity entities from holding controlling interests in CT hospitals and increases oversight of hospital sale-leaseback transactions.

The Trump admin is cracking open the trillions sitting in Americans' retirement savings.

They want to change the rules so that your retirement funds aren't just invested in stable savings — but crypto and private equity too.

The move could crush millions of retirement accounts.
