The rich can't make money if the average person has no money to spend. I've really never understood why they all fight against subsidies for the poor but have no problems with corporate subsidies. Poor people spend money at the corporations that they own. It goes to them in the long run anyway.

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.
They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster.
Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth.
Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
