The same coffee we were paying $8.99 for is now $16.99 (Nespresso pods). Coffee by the pound has also more than doubled from $9.95 to $22.98! Totally outrageous!
Small L liberal. Deeply concerned about the current state of the world. Believe climate change is real and serious work needs to be done so the earth is still inhabitable for our grandkids and their kids.

Very annoyed by this brainworm, heroin narrative that RFK is some kind of incompetent. He may very well be mentally ill, I'm not a doctor, but it's kind of beside the point. He's calculating; he has said he wanted to do all these things for years, and now he's doing them. 🤷🏻

Outrageous. FEMA staff warned that disaster response has been gutted—and instead of fixing it, they were suspended. Retaliating against civil servants for telling the truth puts Americans at risk.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

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.
