I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
Has any country that adopted universal healthcare ever said, “You know what? This isn’t working. Let’s go back to paying insurance premiums and getting claims denied all the time.”
China has spent about $1.5 billion a year on fusion, double the US DOE fusion budget.
Instead, America spends about a billion a DAY bombing Iran.
So they get infinite energy while we get high gas prices.
Federal agents were told the FBI will stop investigating ICE confrontations.
This came after ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo & Johan Sebastian Guerrero.
Once again, Trump's admin is trying to escape accountability & back away from oversight.
DISGUSTING & UNACCEPTABLE!
We were told gas would be $2. It is $4.
We were told inflation would come down. It went up.
We were told the economy would get better. It worsened.
We were told tariffs would be paid by other countries. They were paid by you, and are now being refunded to the companies that made you pay them.
We were told DOGE would cut trillions from the budget and send us all checks. It cost more than it saved, and the debt is rising faster than before.
We were told there would be no new wars. 16 servicemembers have been killed in a new one.
We were told the war was won in March. It rages on in July.
Republicans have lied to you about everything. Their only plan for the next election is to lie to you some more.
Hey not to be too out of touch with the times or whatever but the fucking President paid a $5.6 million settlement this week because he fucking raped someone and I think it should be a way bigger deal.
Billionaires will spend $100 million to go to space for 10 minutes but tell you that ending world hunger is "logistically impossible." It’s not a lack of resources; it’s a lack of humanity.
Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected? That is what we are fighting for in the midterms, a return to democracy & fairness and to remove fascist Republicans.
Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.
