at this time of year,
when the mercury drops
and leaves loosen
their grasp,
I cling to the geese
soaring overhead,
who make of movement
a holy law

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.
Just to say it again, the Big Beautiful Protests (the No Kings marches) involved 5 million people and were likely the largest day of protest in America EVER. News outlets that downplay this fact, are lying.

A colleague sent me an article
about how so many people
between the ages of 18 and 40
are having strokes,
so I replied with several studies
documenting the link
between Covid and strokes,
and my colleague replied
that he was sure
this was just a coincidence.

we've got rural people shooting at anyone who unexpectedly pulls into their driveway and suburbanites firing through the door whenever someone knocks but I'm supposed to be scared of cities?

you always hear her
hear her
scream
and there's that
part
of you,
of everyone,
that denies, and lies
and lets your soul
die,
a little,
because you know
that scream
and the silence
after.
you know she's
begging, quietly
or crying, but not so

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
