Affordability depends on both prices and wages. The roots of today’s affordability crisis *doesn't just* lie in recent price spikes, but in the long-term suppression of workers’ pay. www.ms.now/opinion/infl...
Opinion | Everyone is talking about affordability – and making the same mistake
"As lawmakers grapple with the cost of living, they need to remind Americans – again and again – that pay is a policy choice," Heidi Shierholz writes.

So many desperate texts from companies. A few from small(ish) businesses, which I don’t mind, but some companies were utterly relentless

Oh and the incessant Momentum Solar spam calls (from out of nowhere) on top of it all 🤦🏻‍♀️
Never realized how many businesses have my cell phone until last Friday and today.

The texts won’t stop…has it always been this bad on Black Friday and cyber Monday

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

📌 Weak buyer demand, softening prices, and a jittery economy are pushing sellers to back out and wait for a better day.
