KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

idk if it helps to think of it this way, but capital is not just in opposition to labor but fully radicalized against labor. they'll suffer if they think labor will suffer more. it's not about money. it's about winning.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

The thing these "suck up to everyone except minority groups in case they'll vote for you" people can't seem to understand is that the Democratic party is not weak because of its failure to kiss Nazi ass, it's weak because of its failure to have any principles at all, let alone take a stand on them.

tolerance can't tolerate intolerance just as intolerance can't tolerate greater intolerance: intolerance is like acid or antimatter: it eats away at anything less intolerant than itself
The Republican Party became a Nazi party in order to activate the Nazi vote, and now the Nazis are cleaning house.
I know that this site leans quite left, so I very much hope that people will recognize the significance of this news. The right is cleaving, and the side triumphing — in terms of sheer numbers and media coverage — needs to be understood for exactly what it is: authoritarian and bigoted.
