Denver gave homeless people $1,000 a month, no strings attached. A year later:
*45% secured housing
*Taxpayers saved $590k because of fewer visits to the hospital, jail and shelters
*People used the money on groceries, rent, hygiene, clothes and transportation
*Mental health improved and they could spend more time with their kids and grandkids
Amazing what happens when you give people a chance

I wish we had better options, but I’m not sure we do, and it’s a crappy feeling to think that the best we can do is vote for the lesser of two evils.
NEW: The FTC uncovered a series of texts between big oil CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices.
They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices.
That’s about $3000 per family.

Reggie Miller: now if you’re the Kings, do you want to try to score and go up by 12 or even 13, or should you run out the shot clock and trust your defense to hold the lead?
I have been called every name under the sun and been physically attacked at school and nothing makes me want to quit teaching more than professional development days
@GOOPREALM5000 Most students today are generally lost on computers. Don’t even get me started on how auto correct has destroyed students ability to spell words properly. Even my successful 8th grade students struggle to spell basic words correctly.
