#OTD 1867, Marie Curie was born.
During WWI, Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, a generator, an X-ray machine and photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie also helped train 150 women as radiology technicians.

“The GOP’s greatest con has convinced Americans that what is holding them back economically is not the rich with their tax lawyers and loopholes; rather, it’s the poor, who might buy junk food with food stamps. It’s not the people hoarding billions; it’s the people sleeping on the sidewalks.”

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
