This is the way to think about all of these shootings. They wouldn’t happen without the support of elected officials who refuse to stop the carnage.
As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone.

He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies.

Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.
More than 4 million people to share $1.8 billion in refunds, the CFPB says. Here's what to know.
Payments to victims of Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com are the largest yet by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

"Here the numbers as they actually exist in the real world:

Transgender: 1 percent

Muslim: 1 percent

Jewish: 2 percent

Black: 12 percent

Live in New York City: 2 percent

Gay or lesbian: 3 percent"

If they're this divorced from reality I guarantee these folks cannot conceive magnitude of $1bn
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”

The results were hilarious.

Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%

The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”
