The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

A pretty good chart suggesting capitalism is a reasonable system for goods and services that are kind of optional, and an unreasonable system for goods and services that are not.
Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I bought my dog a brand new orthopedic bed for like $130, and she hates it. She wants her stinky flat rug back. She's a dog. She has no concept of money. She doesn't know what capitalism is. It matters not to dog.
