The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

unions for workers enriched all the working class. Everywhere a union formed many other workers in the community saw wage increases.....to keep them from unionizing. Strong and even weak unions aided middle class growth. All of which as stagnated since 1980 when Reagan and the BBB went after unions

No surprises here, but then I've never liked theme parks. One life goal was to never go to a Disney park and in 76 years I never have! At the few parks I did go to, like Hersheys it seemed to me that one spent hours in line for minutes of fun. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...

Milton Friedman will one day be recognised as the most catastrophically corrosive economist of the 20th century. We can trace the destruction of the American economy directly back his bullshit “shareholder primacy” theory: the idea that capitalism demands prioritising shareholder profits above ALL.
