A quote from Lauren Hough, reading: “The billionaires and corporations finally bought themselves a country. We’re just gamepieces. Always have been. But we had unions and we had each other. They broke the unions and if they can break us apart, they’ll take what’s left.

We have more in common, most things, the things that matter anyway. We all want fairness and we want to provide for ourselves and our families and we want a place to call home and heat in the winter and food to eat and clean air to breathe. They want to own us. But there are more of us than there are of them. They need us to forget that. Don’t.”

Well, this sounds great! www.breakingviews.com/considered-v...

A screen capture from the linked article, reading: "Undocumented immigrants account for 23% of construction labor, the Center for American Progress estimated in 2021. That rises to 44% for agricultural workers, according to a survey for the Department of Labor. Expelling them would tighten employment markets, stoking inflation, and suck demand out of the economy. Deporting 1.3 million people could reduce GDP by 1.2% and hike consumer prices by 1.5% by 2028, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Increasing deportations to 8.3 million would reduce GDP by 7.4% and raise prices by 9.1%, the think tank reckons."

Oh sure, that makes perfect sense! You can TALK to your doctor, but having your doctor receive actual data about your aging physical body isn’t covered. From the Jan/Feb 2025 AARP magazine.

OK, I saw my Spotify Wrapped, which is static, and then saw my husband’s, which has animations and is overall so much more fun. What gives? Is he the cool parent? Is it because he got a new phone? But I do like my top 5 (although I’m not sure anything but the top 2 are accurate)
