Car dependency & poor zoning have ruined American cities & towns. Everyone deserves access to mixed-use walkable neighborhoods with bike routes and transit.
JUST IN: πΊπΈ Analysts believe wage theft is 'mathematically the largest form of theft' in the U.S.
"Companies stealing employee wages is almost a norm."
βWe canβt raise the minimum wage, because then the price of everything will go up.β
They didnβt raise the minimum wage.
The price of everything still skyrocketed
Basically i love how every study shows that students do better with less homework and workers perform better with more vacation days and shorter shifts, yet we do the exact opposite because of outdated, guilt-driven βwork is sufferingβ values and toxic hustle culture.
They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.
Then Jesus said unto the sick, βyou better have insurance.β
Then Jesus said unto the stranger, βare you here legally?β
Then Jesus said unto the hungry, βmy taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.β
Then Jesus said unto the poor, βthis is your own fault.β
It is deeply frustrating how easily Americans moved past the reality that Donald Trump attempted an actual coup in 2021 and failed miserably.
He should have been disqualified from ever holding power again the moment he tried to overturn the election results. He is a traitor who belongs in jail, plain and simple.
Treating his actions as just another political scandal that can be brushed aside is completely unacceptable.
The Republicans who enabled this comeback are absolute traitors to the US. They had multiple opportunities to draw a line in the sand and reject him.
Instead, they acted in a pathetic manner by backing him as their candidate and enabling him to become president again
The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:
- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
an underdiscussed aspect of modern capitalism is that most low-wage jobs tightly regulate what you're doing at all times while you're on the clock and most high-wage jobs consist of hours of unstructured time in front of the computer during which you can do whatever
The hydration portion of that break was finished & the players were just standing around to wait for the commercials to finish so the ref can restart the game. The US are corrupting our f*cking sport.
If you canβt tax billionaires and trillionaire because βits unrealized gains until they cash out,β then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.
If itβs not real enough to tax, it shouldnβt be real enough to leverage.
This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.
