There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa.
Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

If the bottom 30% can’t afford a full grocery cart, the economy is failing.
Tax the rich. Raise the minimum wage. Break up price-gouging corporations.
Until then, stop calling this “a strong economy.”

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.
This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
