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.

It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

The Founding Fathers worked to establish a country that would be free of oppression and tyranny. The most patriotic thing we can do this Independence Day is to continue the fight that they started, and make the United States a place that is great for all of its residents and allies.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Why use tariffs to balance the trade deficit? There's a much simpler solution: switch to a 100% barter economy.
If you buy an iphone, you have a $900 trade deficit. But if you trade the 1500 pounds of potatoes you grew in your garden for an iphone, your trade deficit is balanced.

They're called "skeets"?! Really?
As far as I'm concerned, the term "tweet" entered the public domain when Elon decided the company formerly known as Twitter should be called "X".
I'm going to continue calling these sort of posts "tweets", regardless of the platform being used.

After exporting all of my tweets, twitter sent me an e-mail telling me they are ready to download. The e-mail contains a link. After clicking the link, I am asked to verify my identity via a code sent by e-mail. It seems like those steps could have been consolidated.

All of my posts before this one were exported from my twitter account. If any of them don't make sense anymore, that must be because the timestamp has been lost. Either that, or they never made sense, which is probably more likely.

I miss the simpler times, when we only had to worry about a global pandemic, and not the Russian army firing on a Ukrainian power plant while a global pandemic is still going on.
