Some of y'all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.

Regulations don't exist because
governments enjoy them,They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

@kodacohen @McPherSTL Very sad

[Mayor David Holt @davidfholt]

A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people.

It is now time to make America good again.

That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us.

We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

@AnnLWagner What an embarrassing thing for you to say when you’ve been in office for 14 years. LOL

"Healthcare worker 2026 earnings and benefits barely budged from the year before. At the same time, labor costs for administration and other non-healthcare work rose by 10 percent."

Meine Nachbarin ist 81. Sie wollte Strom, Wasser und Internet anmelden. Sie hat es nicht geschafft.

Der Stromanbieter: nur noch online, mit E-Mail-Adresse. Hat sie nicht.
Der Wasserversorger: ein QR-Code auf dem Brief. Sie hat ihn ans Fenster gehalten – sie dachte, er muss ins Licht.
Der Internetanbieter: 40 Minuten Warteschleife, dann die Ansage, es doch bitte übers Kundenportal zu machen.
Ich hab drei Abende gebraucht. Sie saß daneben und hat sich zehnmal entschuldigt. Für Dinge, die nicht ihre Schuld waren.
Sie hat keine Familie mehr. Kein Enkel, der mal eben vorbeikommt.

Ohne einen Nachbarn, der zufällig Zeit hat, hätte sie diese Verträge nicht abschließen können. Punkt.

Jahrzehntelang hat sie alles selbst geregelt. Heute scheitert sie an einem Muster auf Papier.

Wann haben wir eigentlich entschieden, dass Grundversorgung nur noch für die gilt, die ein Smartphone bedienen können?

@jacobbarker We are all paying the price. Thank you for your excellent work on this.

[Gillian McKeith @GillianMcKeith]

Why does nobody answer the phone anymore?
I don’t want to press 1.
I don’t want to press 4.
I don’t want a chatbot.
And I definitely don’t want to “visit the website.”
I called because I want to speak to a HUMAN.
Apparently this is now an unreasonable request.

You know what I miss? Turning on something and having it just work. No registering on another device. No signing into an account. No downloading an app. Just plug it in and it does the thing it's supposed to do.

Missouri voters in August: We hate these Republican ideas
Missouri voters in November: Let's elect some Republicans

@kodacohen This is surprising and wonderful! We should all post publicly when we have a high quality customer service experience so we know what companies to work with. Thank you for sharing.

My favorite pickles. I was buying this brand because they support Make a Wish, this is another good reason. Plus they are delicious. Confederate flag and freedom don’t go together.

One thing I’ve always appreciated about Obama is that whenever he meets a child, he gets down to their eye level.

It’s such a small gesture, but it instantly tells a kid: “You matter. I’m listening.”

Leadership is often revealed in the little things. 💙

Follow @AllenAnalysis to stay ahead of the curve.

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security once they've made $184k.

That's a couple of months into the year, tops.

Meanwhile, politicians keep raiding Social Security and moving the depletion date up.

Our benefits don't have to be threatened if we just scrap the damn cap.

Nearly $27,000 a year for family health insurance premiums, up from $6,000 in 1999.
And that’s before deductibles, copays, and surprise bills.
The system is fundamentally broken.

I always think of this quote on memorial weekend.

[MoundLore @MoundLore]

A lot of Americans remember Sears as a dying store in a half-empty mall.

That’s not what Sears was.

Sears was how American factories entered ordinary houses. Kenmore in the kitchen. Craftsman in the garage. DieHard under the hood. Coldspot humming in the corner. Lawn tractors in sheds. Socket sets in drawers that nobody was allowed to lose.

It was basements, workbenches, catalogs, part numbers, repairmen, delivery trucks, credit accounts, and old men who could hear a washer struggling before it finally quit.

A kid could flip through the Wish Book and learn what adulthood looked like. Tools. Appliances. Work boots. School clothes. A bicycle. Sometimes even a whole house ordered by mail and built piece by piece after the materials came in by rail.

That was the part Sears understood. America was full of people trying to build stable lives with practical things.

Then the practical world got replaced by a disposable one. The catalogs vanished. The stores hollowed out. Manufacturing moved overseas. Repair got expensive. Replacement got cheap. The people who knew how everything worked got older, retired, or died, and a lot of what they knew went with them.

People call it the death of a department store.

I don’t.

Sears was one of the last national systems that still assumed ordinary Americans should know how to maintain the world around them instead of just replacing it. That’s the strange poverty nobody talks about now.

Not having fewer things. Having more than ever and understanding almost none of them.
