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.

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

"Last year saw a doubling of Americans who were hospitalized or killed by contaminated food outbreaks ... Despite that, the new funding bill blocks federal rules designed to trace sources of outbreaks, and to prevent contamination of produce."
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

Last year, Starbucks’ CEO took home $95.8 million. The typical Starbucks worker got $14,674. That’s a gap of 6,666 to 1.
It’s no wonder Starbucks workers across the country are going on strike today.

If you don't pay a proper salary for public office, the only people you get occupying public office are the already rich who are there to ensure they stay that way and you never get there
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
