@mammabeartrader@Awwrnold He’s not perfect or even amazing, but he’s put a lot of money towards climate policy and democratic candidates, as well as Prop 39 which closed a corporate tax loophole to fun clean energy. He’s not ideal, but he is the best option if you have progressive values.
@The_Kid_Icarus@Andie00471 Coffee shop’s “margin” on coffee is high because it’s paying for wages and other expenses. The average profit margin for a coffee shop as a whole is extremely thin.
@StevieJ3210@SenseWills@PeteButtigieg There has been a tremendous amount of miscommunication throughout the federal government since Trump took office. Firing the bosses of the agencies responsible for preventing this sort of accident is pretty directly correlated.
@FhsMolz @FitFounder@BuzzBustazz There’s no way anyone has good data on that. Only a slim set of the population tracks their calories, and they’re the people trying to keep their weight under control.
@MasonTenery @benike__ @SkylerforNY @dgrun7 Then call your local postmaster and tell them what’s goin on. From my experience they’re very responsive to complaints. A privatized post office wouldn’t deliver to rural areas. FedEx and UPS don’t.
@CritThinker69 @SenSanders The free market would lower insurance costs by not insuring patients with chronic conditions or major illness. It’s not tenable in a just society.
@razr_sharp99@JaredRyanSears Why do you not understand that prices won’t lower without extreme market competition, economic collapse or government intervention? Google Price Rigidity. It’s a basic concept of economics. Businesses don’t lower prices unless they have to.
This is deeply disturbing.
The moment I start treating my wife as if she has no free will of her own, dictating her decisions, including making sure how she votes, that’s the moment I’m unfit to be her husband.
My wife is my best friend and partner, not my subordinate.
1. There was an assassination attempt. It was not staged. People died.
2. The shooter was a despicable animal. I’m glad he was neutralized.
3. Everyone should condemn this attack regardless of political affiliation.
4. None of this changes the fact Trump is unfit for office.
If you’re a “senior Democrat” that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism.
This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.
