Record grads jobless; searches marathon. #econsky
BREAKING: 1 in 4 unemployed people (1.8 million Americans) have been job searching for over half a year, per CNBC.

And unemployed Americans with 4-year college degrees now make up a record 25.3% of total unemployment.

You don’t realize how weak the economy is right now.

The “wealthy” make up 2% of the population, the upper class another 15-16%… maybe for 5-star hotels, airline tix, and luxury real estare these will consume more but for the grand part of everything else (food, gas, energy, clothes, healthcare) they can’t out-consume the other 280 million Americans…

The First Amendment protects your right to record government officials performing their duties in public.

This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials.

Chinga La Migra is a Spanish phrase that roughly translates to “Fuck the Border Patrol” or “Fuck ICE".

Chinga La Migra isn’t shock value. It’s truth. It’s anger, love, and defiance in one phrase.

Everyone knows that when the federal government deports a murderer, Wal Mart adds another 38 cents to the hourly wage of its cashiers.

Come on, it's just basic economics!

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong.

The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself.

We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

Do Americans know that in 39 states it is ILLEGAL to boycott Israel?

I wrote about it today because we have a chance in Illinois to right this wrong. But I'm realizing most Americans have no idea Netanyahu spent at least $25M to criminalize boycotts of Israel.

Biden had a plan for that aging/decaying infrastructure. Democrats passed it and Republicans tried to take credit for it when constituents were happy about it.
Now GOP installed Dump and went along w/his plan to pull out of many desperately needed projects bc a police state makes billionaires more$
Truth is US industry is not competitive. That is not because it pays inflated wages. It does however pay inflated executive salaries and stock holder returns hence the level of the Dow Jones & NASDAQ. Also US infrastructure is aging and decaying, degrading efficiency.
