If you or I say the Israeli prime minister ‘influences’ American politicians to get them to think his way and fight his wars, it’s antisemitic. But if the Israeli prime minister says it…

So the last remaining foods will give you cancer. Again, voting for republicans was the stupid choice.

Jailing another country's president for breaking US law while refusing to hold the US president accountable for breaking US law is.......strange.

Do yall see how small that print is? Do you see how long this sign is?? Benjamin Netanyahu is a monster and anyone who supports him can go to hell with him!

How the fuck is it like every week we get 3 more Republican politicians preying on kids

[Jamison Daniel @AntiquarianMuse]

McConnell also apparently refuses to do a phone call as well, but is still claiming his full salary of $174,000 and benefits.

It's been over two months

I smell a dead rat

[xoesh @xoesh]

Look at these thugs

[Joshua Martin @JoshuaRMartin]

It’s remarkable how consistently pro pedophile the Republican Party is.

Yes, in fact, I do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That’s kind of the whole point of having a job and I can’t believe this is considered a radical position for me to take.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I don’t know man that seems pretty reasonable to me.

[RagingMillennial @RagingMadLad]

@financedystop She's correct. It's like people forgot Regan removed the luxury tax of 70% to the progressive rate of 28%, and encouraged all work to be pushed over seas for cheap labor to avoid paying their fair share of payroll tax.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

Nobody wants to work anymore.

CORRECT. No one wants to work 50 hours a week for a salary that hasn't kept up with inflation since 1979, pay 40% of it in rent, get 10 days PTO, no sick days, no pension, no job security, and be told they're replaceable at any moment.

You solved it. That's the full sentence.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

This is our money they stole.

[Owen @Owennfa]

BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."

YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."

BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"

YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."

BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."

YOU: "That's the whole point."

BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."

YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."

BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."

YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."

BOOMER: "That was normal back then."

YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."

BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"

YOU: "I want what was normal."

BOOMER: *silent*

You didn't outwork us.

You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.

[Zellie @leucocrystal]

While it's important to call this out, if the average American had any idea how much of everything we eat, buy, and touch is directly tied to prison labor, which this country essentially runs on, y'all would die of shock. It's the engine of the entire economy

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

There’s only one reason why you would block this.

[Owen @Owennfa]

My son works full time here in Florida. Let me run his numbers.

State minimum wage is $14/hour. He's at $15.

40 hours a week = $600/week
That's about $2,600/month before taxes.

Florida has no state income tax the thing they sell you on. So after federal and FICA he takes home roughly $2,200.

Average one-bedroom in our area runs about $1,600.

That's 73% of his entire paycheck gone to rent before he eats a single meal.

Leaves him around $600 a month for:

- groceries
- gas
- car insurance
- health insurance
- phone
- emergencies
- savings

Car insurance alone eats a third of that in this state.

He works 40 hours a week and cannot save a dollar. Not because he's careless because there's nothing left to be careless with.

I spent thirty years paying off a house here. He's doing the same job I did at his age and he can't afford a one-bedroom.

That's not a discipline problem. That's not avocado toast.

The floor moved and nobody lowered the ceiling.

Working full time should cover a roof. In Florida it barely covers the rent on one.

@welchmeyer People forget that profit shouldn’t be the goal of a government service. We don't ask if the military or the fire department made a profit this quarter. Protect the post office.

It took them 3yrs. 3 YEARS TO FINALLY REACH THIS POINT. And watch as nothing will continue to be done until Palestine and its people are no more.
