Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

The Trump-Republican budget would be a disgrace under any circumstance.
At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years — with the richest Americans taking home near-record amounts of both — the bill is shameful.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

The Department of Homeland Security put out a list of “sanctuary jurisdictions” in VA, including Martinsville County, which doesn't even exist!
Per state law, there are no sanctuary cities or counties in VA. After I pointed that out, DHS deleted the list.

Trump’s stablecoin is shady and a national security risk.
He’s cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology.
The Senate shouldn’t greenlight this corruption by passing the GENIUS Act without fixes.
