Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous.

What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries?
The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport.

I registered as a Libertarian in 2023 or 2024, then I went to a libertarian state convention and saw a guy in the audience get thrown out for screaming slurs and profanities at the MC and RFK Jr. I unregistered shortly after that
Might call the cops on anyone else who yells in my face at convention. I am 7 1/2 months pregnant. Stay away from me. It's right on the fence for assault.
