Just pointing out that the UK has the highest pension and minimum wage we ever had. Also the highest level of regulatory protection.
Because it is rarely mentioned when everyone talks about how terrible everything is.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

NEW: Oklahoma’s GOP supermajority — where some identify as Christian nationalists — passed limits on teaching about racism and gender in 2021, prompting districts to review if lessons might make students “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish” about their race.
This Is Ground Zero in the Conservative Quest for More Patriotic and Christian Public Schools
Oklahoma has spent years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride in America’s history. By the time the second Trump administration began espousing its “America First” agenda, Oklahoma had been there, done that.
