Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work.
And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

If you want to understand just how bad rape culture is, over 80 men from a small region of France participated in the rape of Gisele Pelicot
For a decade, her husband drugged her and solicited men to rape her
A few said no, but not a single one went to the police
Not a single one tried to help

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Still angry beyond words.
These eight spineless skunks should never work in government again. They disgrace themselves, their states, their party and their country.
See my pinned post for a more robust analysis of how little *conceivable* justification there could ever be for what they did.

Some of you folks, bless your hearts, are being way too lenient on Mr. Schumer. I get that some of you don't like attacking Democrats. I sympathize. I don't like doing it, either. But this is twice this year that Mr. Schumer has dropped the ball in a position of critical importance. No excuses.
