Every issue traces back to one cause: corporate greed. Let’s fix it.
There is too much going on and too much to keep track of and that’s exactly what they want.

Nearly a quarter of the coffee imported into the US comes from Colombia, which now faces a 25%, and soon to be 50%, tariff.
It’ll be really interesting to see what happens when Trump’s economic policies yields a catastrophic economic collapse.
I wonder how democrats will be blamed…
Mike Johnson saying they will investigate the Jan. 6 committee is a great way of foreshadowing the billions of dollars ready to be wasted by house Republicans.

At least President Elon and is now forced to backtrack like a ...
The proposed budget has a 3.8% pay increase for congressional representatives and senators.
Why do they get an increase but federal employees don’t?
The richest man on the planet has the audacity to threaten our elected officials?
Oligarchy at its finest.
As long as the Pelosi-wing of the Democratic party retains power, we will keep losing and losing.

A Trump federal judge struck it down citing that the salary threshold was TOO HIGH.
America voted for this.
Trump’s working hard on Twitter it seems…

Concurrently, there are more than 650,000 homeless people in the United States.
Make it make sense?
Elon Musk’s net worth hitting 400 BILLION dollars today is actually disgusting.

The Kaiser Family Foundation does a study every year on healthcare costs. It's actually more like 25k annually for premiums per family per year. The annual household income is usually published by the U.S. Census Bureau! Thanks for asking!

The average American family pays 23k in healthcare premiums annually.
The median household income in America is $80k in 2024
Make it make sense.
That's mainly why I started this BlueSky. I wanted to be part of the left-wing resistance.

How is this normalized in the U.S?
It’s beautiful to see people across the political spectrum unite in anger at corporations and healthcare companies exploiting Americans.
I’ve been calling out corporate greed as the root of our problems for over a decade, and I’ve never seen such unity like this before.
Thanks to @kenklippenstein.bsky.social for great reporting as usual!

This seems to be the real copy of Luigi Mangione's "manifesto." I only share it because, although I do not agree with the methodology, the problems he raises are still extreme pertinent to the healthcare system we suffer with in America.
10.12.2024 21:05 — 👍 24 🔁 8 💬 3 📌 1Trump’s nominees have more in common than just being unqualified. They’re all losers.
67% of Trump’s cabinet-level nominees have lost elections in the past.
Turns out the UnitedHealth CEO killer is actually a right-winger…
As usual, 99% of political violence is right wing violence.
Russia's loyalty to Assad's Syria was never about friendship but about blocking the proposed Qatar-Turkey pipeline.
By preventing it, Russia maintained its gas monopoly over Europe.
The six largest insurance CEO's made $122 billion in compensation in 2023.
An average pay ratio of 307:1
That's so awesome! Thank you so much!
