This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

And many more imbeciles didn’t vote because the eggs were too expensive. This election was won by imbeciles who elected another imbecile but cruel.
Every news is more terrifying than the previous. We are in a huge mess.
Sorry for the rant. I am depressed and angry. 😑

It’s because imbeciles didn’t vote for Kamala Harris in protest for the massacre in Gaza (they voted Democrat all the way in the ballot but not for the Presidency). Other imbeciles did the same to protest because they wanted more help for Israel.

Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, both of whom were VIP guests at the Trump inauguration and GOP festivities today, want you to believe they’re β€˜independent’ and anti-Establishment journalists.

Trump is taking credit for the ceasefire as if he’s already president. To be fair, millions of Americans have been drinking as if he’s already president.

The Biden/Harris administration put a cap on insulin of $35 a month and a cap on 10 more lifesaver drugs (among them there is Eliquis that I must use and that is extremely expansive). The bill or law should start from 2026. I am wondering if this will change during the Trump administration. Anyone?

For an entire year these children lived far away from their parents.
Al lived his all life in a brace with iron sticks going from his chin to his limbs. He was courageous, he studied and became a wonderful doctor with an admirable empathy.
The external signs are still very visible.

Don't let RFK Jr ban the vaccine.
My cousin Al had polio when I was 7 and he was 3. It was a terrifying event, even if at that young age I couldn't grab the immensity of this tragedy. Al's two younger siblings were displaced, U with us and L, too young to walk, with aunt Maria.

Nothing will change. Neither in US nor in the rest of the world.
The rich and powerful will be even richer and more powerful. The poor and the vulnerable will become even poorer and more vulnerable.

Do we need a murder to reflect on β€˜legal’ abuses and murders protected by law?
De need a massacre to reflect on arms?
Do we need a genocide to reflect on wars?
Do we need deaths to reflect on women’s rights?
and so on…
