So, if the size of highways correlates with the growth of a city and region, why is Cincinnati filled with freeways, while Tokyo, which is 22 times bigger, is not?

Well, this turned out to be correct...

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Wage slavery is the defining fact of life in America. 90% of Americans spend their entire lives as slaves, just one rung above chattel. This creates an immense psychological toll. Burn out, misery, lives wasted. Everybody is cynical, angry, rude, on edge.

Work is good. There is so much work that needs to be done in America. Near my block a grocery store closed down. Homeless addicts have congregated there. If any of them want to get clean they have to wait 10 days for an outpatient appointment. In patient rehab is at least a month waiting. Generally, they don’t wait.

What if more Americans, instead of autoscrolling their mouse to look busy on an Excel monkey job for a private corporation, were paid to help these people? Why can’t rehab facilities be same day or next day? Because it’s not profitable for any corporation to do this. This is work with real meaning though. The block could be restored and those addicts might get a second chance at life.

What about trash? Graffiti? Infrastructure? All of this needs so much work in America. Fixing it requires labor organizations that are actually democratic, not just corrupt tools of the Democrat party. There is meaning in meaningful work. The labor needed to fix this country could enliven our spirits rather than deaden them. We’ve seen it happen before.

Populism to me means being pro work but anti slavery. When you control your work you are not a slave. The eventual goal is worker control over the means of production. The lot of wage slaves could certainly be improved in the meantime. But we should speak honestly about the condition of having to sell yourself to a private capitalist for your entire life. You are a slave. Together we could be free.

It's f-ing journalistic malpractice that the national media making this about the lame-duck Ron Destantis

versus Ashley Moody who is also named in the grand jry proceedings and running for the US Senate against @AngieNixon

I'm convinced the democratic establishment 100% does NOT WANT THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE

Rep. Ro Khanna defends Hasan Piker and calls out Democrats who have condemned him

"Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption. Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.

It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?"

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.

The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to massive savings nationwide.

More accessible care would also lead to numerous lives saved.

I’m “crashing out” because my entire life has been voting for the “lesser evil.” I held my nose and voted for Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. Bc I was told that’s what it takes to save us from fascism. But summers keep getting hotter & kids keep being slaughtered with my tax dollars

Was far from the nearest VA and needed a tick bite looked at so I went to a hospital. They charged me $1,000 for one doxycycline pill and a glass of water.

The US medical industry is a hated institution, covered in shame, that exists to rob the sick and steal from the injured.

I know it’s complicated for you, habibi. I’m happy to teach you how this works at our next debate…if you’re not too much a coward to debate me.

they exported this barbarism from the metropole to the periphery. Millions of people still suffer these types of diseases, you never see them because they’re in Bangladesh, Nigeria or El Salvador.
