At the same time that corporate propaganda has taught us to hate being a recipient of social programs, it turns out corporations love NOTHING MORE than being a recipient of federal bailouts & subsidies.

They call it socialism when it benefits the People & Capitalism when it benefits themselves.🧵

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
