It’s very craży that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline BUT we're allowing them to run our ENTIRE country.
One of the most blatant forms of hypocrisy of our time is when Christians hold all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards, all while holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.
something i’ve realized watching all of this play out
a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever.
gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction
inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number.
and we always accept it because we have no other choice
then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating.
and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food
the economy for who exactly.
because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is living proof that both sides of the American political parties have gaslit us into believing that they can't implement any real change
Talarico: I was required by law to report any indication there was abuse at home, and I would hope that the top law enforcement official in Texas would be held to the same standard as a middle school teacher. Ken Paxton had the opportunity to protect a child, but instead he protected a predator
Yes, a cashier at Walmart, a delivery driver at Amazon, or a waiter at KFC, should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That is exactly what jobs are for.
The fact that we can see the world’s first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water says everything about a system that rewards greed over humanity.
