Let’s be clear, the government is shutdown because Republicans refuse to restore costs they made unaffordable for millions of Americans‼️

Just think if someone told you in the late 90s or early 2000s that the world's richest man would one day essentially control what is and what is not discussed in American politics. It sounds like a bad dystopian novel!
Not for the first time, I note that 'total control over media' is an essential plot point of The Running Man, in theatres (again) soon

As I recall, it did not in fact prevent the populace from revolting...

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

The richest man on the planet starved 600K people to death simple because he could. No other reason.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

We need a better way to calculate poverty rates in America. I see people, like my educated brother working in the tech industry, barely getting by and it’s because we lack a useful and accurate poverty line. Let’s start with universal healthcare like what is offered by other developed countries.

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward

It’s important to get approval and secure funds to build before tearing down a structure. Any homeowner who has done a remodeling project can tell you that.

The White House began demolition on part of the East Wing to build Trump's $250 million ballroom despite lacking approval for construction.

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it.

What Extreme Poverty Looks Like
Ten percent of humanity struggles to live on under $2 a day. That, and the gap between the extremely poor and the more privileged, is important to see.
