How the US sets its poverty rate is shocking
It's so horrible, it should actually piss you off

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward

Harrison Ford slams Donald Trump for attacks on climate change: "I donโt know of a greater criminal in history."
โ[Trump] doesnโt have any policies, he has whims. It scares the sh*t out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but heโs an instrument of the status quo and heโs making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Itโs unbelievable. I donโt know of a greater criminal in history," Ford told The Guardian. โHeโs losing ground because everything he says is a lie. Iโm confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies. But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem we can fix it most times.โ

Canada should run more ads.

I'm getting hate messages from people saying they won't vote for Mamdani because he said he "would laugh if another 9/11 happened."
This is how hate speech works. It doesn't need to be factual, indeed it never is. It just needs to be repeated enough to stick. Anti-Muslim hate is all Cuomo has left.

On the left:
Trickledown Economics. Ask nothing of the wealthy and their corporations and they will eventually create a society in which all prosper.
On the right: Pinata Economics. Instead of fruitlessly waiting for wealth to trickle down, beat the rich with blunt instruments until the gold flows.
