Stick to your guns. I just spent an extra $1000 that I really can't afford so others in our country don't suffer hunger or go into medical debt or die from lack of healthcare.

I would rather we are majorly inconvenienced by air travel as long as people keep their healthcare and SNAP benefits.

CASE CLOSE
Me picking up Mom at the door of the hotel:
Me: Hey little girl! Want a piece of candy? You just have to get in my car.
Mom: I'll take a piece of candy.
๐
Me: Mom, you're not supposed to take candy from strange people.
Mom: Michele, it's candy!
Mom would love to go to bed later. She's a night owl. I've had to change her schedule so I could get at least 6 hours of sleep. Sadly, she can't put herself to bed anymore.

03.11.2025 13:42 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Layoffs Already Higher Than for Any Full Year Since 2020 Announced US job cuts by quarter
Itโs been harder than normal to get a grasp on the US labor market lately, with several agencies that produce key economic data, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, going dark during the government shutdown. Even before that, President Donald Trumpโs efforts to downsize the US government left holes in the sprawling federal statistical system. But private datasets have helped fill in some of the gaps. A report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed almost 950,000 US job cuts this year through September, the highest year-to-date total since 2020โand that was before the heavy October run of announcements. (Excluding that first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, US job cuts in the first nine months have already surpassed full-year layoffs for every year since 2009.) When something is almost the worst since the Great Recession, North says, โthatโs not a very encouraging number.โ
Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).
