In 1974, one job paid for a home, kids, car, and vacation.
The minimum wage in '74 was $2/hr. Today in most parts of this country you’d need $60-75/hr to live the same life.
Wages are flat. Everything else has skyrocketed.
It’s a rigged system funneling money upward while the rest of us drown.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.
Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

This all reminds me of a 1982 cartoon by Gary Larson of a crisis clinic, on fire, about to go over the edge of a waterfall. The only comfort I’m finding is reminding myself that no one lives forever.
