We have been programmed into insatiable consumerism. We've been shaped so that we think of gaining more . . . and more . . . and more. Whether we need it, or not, whether we already have enough, or not.

I find this remarkable, and commendable. Utah becoming so conservative that it has shielded factory farms, supported Trump, and so many other far-right actions, including ignoring citizens votes to end gerrymandering and create balanced maps. This state can be so confusing in the way it legislates.
Utah has repealed a law that barred public unions from negotiating on behalf of their members.
Republican Gov. Spencer Cox approved the rollback of one of the most anti-union laws in the country after thousands of union members rallied outside his office for a week.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

What's happening to the world? New Mexico is now a progressive state? First free childcare, and now this. I am impressed.
Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.
The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.
Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.
