clinton: “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … " (the Lewinsky blowjob) guy knew how to wiggle around truth @patientadvocacy.bsky.social

Moins emblématique que le pantalon, le pull en maille a néanmoins marqué une rupture essentielle avec la rigidité des tenues de nos ancêtres. Issu des milieux populaires et du vêtement de travail, il gagne progressivement les garde-robes au XIXe siècle. ➡️ https://l.franceculture.fr/QvL

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.
Das "System" heißt Kapitalismus, und der beruht auf Ausbeutung von Lohnabhängigen und darauf, mit der Drohung von Abstieg, Armut, Obdachlosigkeit möglichst alle Menschen ohne Vermögen gefügig zu machen. Dieses Gefügigmachen ist die wichtigste Aufgabe der politischen Vasallen des Kapitals.

I'm not a romantic guy, I'm a math guy According to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60-67% of second marriages ending in divorce (not good odds)

Veterans are speaking out. Trump's use of Troops against Americans isn't leadership—it's an abuse of power. We served the Constitution, not a king, a bully, or a dictator.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.
Inflation was so bad, my parents bought gold (1/3 of it I have now [3 kids]). I bought a bit more myself in 2002.Gold was then $337/oz, its now $3,400/oz. It's a bit difficult to sell. In Europe you go to a bank. Here you go to a specialized shop. To be investigated,it's in the last to sell category
@patientadvocacy.bsky.social stagflation is bad (at least for those looking for a job or those without money)(for those with money higher interest rates bring more income and depending on the base amount can be higher than inflated prices) The last period of stagflation was during the 1970s/80s.
Buckle up. Here’s why we might be headed towards “stagflation.”
