Because we don't have sufficient oversight of Congress to prevent buyouts. We need another clone of Jasmine Crockett.

Why do we keep subsidizing this industry that’s been here forever now. They’re not new like wind & solar that could use subsidies to grow.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

I know Jasmine Crockett is busier than most humans could be, but doesn't it seem that where X buys off Congress, there should be an oversight committee with the power to eject/jail the people involved in those Buyouts?

Trump has branded crime in cities like Chicago and Baltimore as spiraling out of control...but the data tells a different story: violent crime is falling. The deployed National Guard? It’s not a rescue. It’s political theater....and that's a nice way of saying it's a bunch of BS.
