The US is the only nation that hamstrings employers with the cost of health insurance.
We don’t hold employers responsible for other basic needs like food, housing or basic education, why in the world do we insist that employers be part of the nation’s health infrastructure?
This is stupid. #M4A

Practically speaking, how do we bring down housing costs?
Last month, the Senate Banking Committee unanimously passed a bill that will use the power of the federal government to help communities across the country build more housing.

The amount I would spend on subway and bus rides each monthly when I lived in New York City was about what I would spend monthly on car insurance alone in Los Angeles—and that's before accounting for gas, maintenance, and fees. And in Los Angeles, I felt far more constrained by my mobility.
"Suddenly, nearly 20% of my income was going toward car payments, repairs, inspections, and insurance."
I moved with my fiancé from DC to Arkansas to save money. It was actually more expensive there, and 5 months later, we broke up.
Tyler Donohue and her fiancé moved to Bentonville, AR, with dreams of a larger space and cheaper cost of living. The illusion cracked quickly.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

This is what happens when our cities don't build enough housing. 1400 homes get built in the far exurbs of our cities (in this case Cle Elum) on 800 acres of forest land. Deforestation alone doesn't account for the emissions from vehicles commuting in and out of these homes, either.
