Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Jerome Powell says the AI hiring apocalypse is real: 'Job creation is pretty close to zero.’ | Fortune Powell said the Fed is walking a tightrope as AI-fueled investment props up growth but erodes hiring.

Whether you think it's bullshit or not that companies are using AI to not hire people, the impacts on the economy point to a need to stimulate demand soon. For J-Pow that likely means lower interest rates, but that can only go so far. We need to start seriously talking about at least a small UBI.

Unsurprisingly, a judge just sided with the states suing to get SNAP benefits released. It’s an open-and-shut case.

I wonder, what percentage of that deal was a mere $50k. ?

Picture shows dozens of people inside "iron lungs" to keep them alive and breathing after contracting polio, a disease that that had been all but eradicated, but is being brought back by the hateful policies of this administration.

Oh, hey! I found the #MedBeds that #TFG and #RFKjr want to put everybody into.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

Please could we redirect any military aid we currently give to Israel to Ukraine. I'm sure they will be far more careful on where they use it.
Just a random thought for the day.
I'm in the UK, but any country could join in 😁

I miss Manhattan.

Nothing, buy necessities at local community stores, ONLY. NO CHAINS, NO CORPORATE STORES

"What began as a modest workplace amenity for public servants has metastasized into a taxpayer-funded citadel of privilege."

we don’t get a ton of kids on my street but the kids who do come this halloween are getting the good shit

My friend adopted these amazing kids three years ago. Seeing how much they’ve grown and how happy they are makes me smile every time. Such a wonderful day at their volleyball game! 🏐😊

A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

"Zohran knows the cost of living is crushing working people. But here’s what makes him different: he doesn’t throw up his hands and say, 'that’s just how it is.' He believes something radical—that government can actually work for us." - @seiupres.bsky.social
