Is your Memorial Day barbecue more expensive this year?
Maybe because just 4 firms control 85% of the beef market, 66% of the pork market, and 54% of the poultry market.
Minimal competition means maximized price gouging. https://youtu.be/NuvKoe9Ilvo?si=KoAExA3HWCDTN8L3

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

The Trump tax cuts in a nutshell:
1) Facilitate a massive giveaway to corporations and the rich
2) Send this the national debt soaring in the process
3) Use this as an excuse to cut spending on government programs the rest of us rely on
It was a scam from the start.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"
now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Musk makes 8 million a day; the average senior 68 dollars a day! Musk paid zero taxes, the average senior pays 22-33%. Musk is decreasing funding for seniors to increase revenue to continue the tax cuts to the top 10% and fund his ventures! Did you vote for this? Take a critical thinking class!!!!!!

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine.
“Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process”

I was just thinking….if the people no longer have a say in how our Federal taxes are spent- perhaps we should not send them?! Why on earth should I pay more taxes than the president?!!! Don’t the governmental executives enjoy the same infrastructure that our taxes provide?! 🧐🤨
