That is so sad. Someone else remarked that another priority of theirs was to not lose the filibuster rule. Seems like a game of high stakes to save a device that’s of little usefulness.

Buh bye now

Or another way to put it, “whose ox is getting gored?”

The business of America is business and always will be. So I’m always thinking, who’s is losing and who is winning? And is this an opportunity to gain yards or lose them? Another movement is definitely brewing.

People Over Billionaires Day of Action

Saturday, November 15: People Over Billionaires Day of Action. We’re demanding a “people first” agenda: tax the rich, protect immigrant and workers’ rights, fund healthcare and housing, combat climate change, and build unity.

While billionaires and corporations who are fueling deportations, gutting healthcare, and silencing dissent keep getting richer, we’re forced to choose between rent and medicine. We’re not waiting for permission to fight back. We’re going on the offense.

Eight Senate Democrats who call themselves “moderates” helped Trump and the GOP pass a funding bill that slashes healthcare, hikes premiums for millions, and leaves families and seniors scrambling to stay covered.

This isn’t about deprivation, it’s about redirection. It’s about saying: you don’t get to profit off our pain. Learn more at weaintbuyingit.com and sign the petition here.

So we’re using the one language they understand: our wallets. We’re boycotting their stores, redirecting our dollars to local and community-owned businesses, and showing the world that when we act together, we have power.

While 42 million Americans still face hunger and millions more face losing healthcare thanks to the shutdown’s fallout, corporations like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon are still cashing in with many of them actively funding and benefiting from policies that are harming our communities.
