Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
Australia was able to solve our gun death worries without sending in the Army. We just banned Assault weapons, limited magazines to no more than seven cartridges, introduced background checks etc. #USpol #USA #America
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
Lauren Boebert in 2023: “Space Command will stay in CO, its rightful home. Our bipartisan and bicameral effort put politics aside to put CO first.”

Psalm 108:8-17 8 May his days be few; may another take his places of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
when white people say shit like. "white people are being replaced, they're dying out" and you respond "I don't care" they look at you like youre insane because they can't imagine someone who doesn't think that thier race is the most important thing in the world
Deploy the Illinois National Guard. You have troops governor you are being invaded.
However, it’s unclear whether doctors find the tool useful. A year after being given the AI stethoscopes, 70 per cent of GP offices stopped using them regularly, the trial found. Gee that sounds pretty clear to me actually
Healthcare is a fundamental human right. Anyone who disagrees cannot call themself a 'Christian'.
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
“People doubted the Internet, too” no we doubted NFTs and the metaverse and other such bullshit these snake oil peddlers tried to hustle shut up
This insanity must end.
Told one of my closest friends that the were a disappointment to who mr Rogers wanted them to be and they've 180ed from turning into a POS and are actually acting better and it's good to see.
"Dear friends, let us pray that the Church will always be a school of humility for everyone, a home where all are welcome, a place where rivalries are set aside and where Jesus still speaks to us and teaches us to imitate his own humility and freedom." #PopeLeoXIV #LiveTheGospel #ShareGodsLove
Since it’s Labor Day, you know I’ve got to post the chart.

Movie idea. An ailing evil dictator undergoes a heart transplant. He gets a heart from a humble and generous janitor that had an accident. Evil dictator changes his evil ways and becomes a kind and generous leader. Too farfetched?
He is dead, but he demands all true MAGA join him. It is time, drink deep of any house hold chemical and join the Ascended President
Matthew 19:24, “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
I'm cool taxing the rich first. Church pays for my meds, the CEO won't give me a job so I have to have the church pay for my meds. Priority big brain.
it's beginning to feel a lot like 1929 www.axios.com/2025/09/02/a...
Engaging an Autistic person with their special interest 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Not understanding that some special interests are quite specific and not paying attention to the focus that was clearly delineated 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Wild how RFK Jr is clearly hellbent on **taking vaccine decisions away** from parents who DO want their kids vaccinated... I assume the "parents' rights" groups will be lining up to support our parental rights, too, right? Because it's about parents' right to choose, right? Right?
"OMG, the world is going to shit. What can we do about it?" Stop the greed. Distribute the wealth evenly. As so EVERYONE gets a fair piece of the pie. It used to be that way. Before "Trickle down" economics was introduced. People. This is not complicated anymore. Greed is destroying us. #cdnpoli

Always remember kids, the only time our Lord used physical violence was when confronted with businessmen and money changers. The Lord hates capitalism.
Happy Labor Day my fellow workers!

Lol well my guy that is literally the lowest of bars. My racist bigot maga neighbor is "better than Trump" if you want to get technical since that guy can at least cook ribs and gives them away.

The question is not "Who pay the tax?" but "Who loses the benefits of trade?" When a tariff is imposed on imports, American consumers pay higher prices and foreign producers lose their business. Both lose - even if, as a result of the tariff, no one buy imports anymore and no one pays the tax.
Its a very beautiful hell, veery beautiful. Satan is reaaally nice. They love me here. It's amazing. They want my help to make a big big wall to separate heaven and hell. They neeed it. They want it. And God is going to pay for it
Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!

There's a simple test. Put RFKJr in a room with 100 unlabeled kids. Have him sort the vaccinated from the unvaccinated based on vibes or whatever he's claiming, and see how he does. He should welcome this chance to prove he's right in a scientific way.
Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Many people are saying that Grab-Ass Grandpa’s announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today is a distraction from Wednesday’s press conference with 10 of Epstein’s victims. Well, duh. Thank you for your inattention on this matter.

If you don't like your job, you can look for another one, you can negotiate pay rises, role changes, etc... you can get promoted. Disabled folk who can't work don't get any choice. Our job is to manage our health conditions. We have no choice, holiday, or possibility of better.
Its always crazy how Republican arguments always boil down to well if you would just die it would save us all a shit ton of trouble

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
He does it aspirationally
What an oddly specific non answer
Oh man, this shit is gonna suck when it pops.
i always joke about this but it’s hilarious how disconnected furries are from knowing their own body and knowing drug sensations you mother fuckers will eat bath salts and be like OMG IM ROLLING SO HARD I LOOOVE MOLLY 😍😍😍😍

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. — Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn
Over a million immigrants disappeared from the workforce this year, and Americans aren't rushing to fill the openings. Pew Research found immigrants accounted for: -45% in farming, fishing and forestry -30% in construction -24% in service -43% in home healthcare Labor Day without the laborers.
You know how backwards the world has become when you have people telling disabled people to consider how hard billionaires have it.

Hey, why are we organizing society based on what makes the most money for the people who already own everything? That seems like it'd lead to a bunch of easily foreseen problems.
It's hilarious that Donald Trump woke up yesterday to discover that the whole world was celebrating his possible death. And I love that for him.
I've seen two gun kooks post [paraphrasing] - "He doesn't know what the Bible says! Jesus would've been for guns!" If you believe anything slightly close to that stupidity, you are officially broken to the core. www.kare11.com/article/news...
It was an honest mistake: rich people just assume everything belongs to them. Give the poor fellow a break: he probably had to finish off a few bottles of champagne before owning up to his mistake.
So he’s now tracking down the child from whom he stole it, to give it back with some other form of compensation/gift?
Uhhhh, that wasn't a moment of "indifference". That was a character-defining moment of greed and dominance over a child. The kid even continued to try to tell you the hat had been passed to him, and you refused to listen. You have earned all the scorn coming your way.
He did what they all do, he stole without thinking of any consequences because for him there never are someone should burn down his home
It's amazing how Google took one of the most powerful research tools in human history and decided they needed to ruin it for the sake of a useless toy.
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
It's not just entry level jobs! I was a senior content marketing and SEO expert and I can't fucking get a job
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Seeing a millionaire CEO basically doing the "taking candy from a baby" thing out in public is proof satire is dead
My favorite atheist posting is you don't read your book if you did you'd be so smart like me.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
Live your life in such a way that, upon realizing that you are probably p seriously ill, millions of people are not torn between hoping you die as soon as a body can possibly shuffle off its mortal coil and hoping that you survive long enough to go to prison and die there.
Xiaomi sells as many cars in China in one day as Tesla sells in six months, and the European launch is planned. I'm just tired of listening to the whining of the German auto industry. They delay the transformation out of capitalist greed, and also these cars are bringing surveillance on our roads.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Like the pissy little dicks who are mad about this are extra silly. You can wash chalk off with a garden hose. This doesn't even cause actual damage. Knowing Florida and the GOP they will start cracking down on kids with chalk next.
So I'm reading Rigney's The Sin of Empathy to get a better perspective on what is driving evangelicals now, and of course, he spends a fuckton of time with CS Lewis. It is a problem of evangelicalism that Lewis is viewed as some giant of theology when he was a new convert obsessed with apologetics.

ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
