I knew there was some sort of math to this!

Exactly. SS costs the government $0 because WE pay for it. If they try to cut benefits, its because they're STEALING OUR $ again to give to billionaires. They've been lying about the cost of SS for more than 50 years. Why does the 1st Amendment cover lying? I've never understood that.

Some of these companies (looking at you Walmart and McDonald's) are the real welfare queens. Forcing employees to turn to public assistance because they aren't full-time or work in right to work states so FT doesn't count and the billionaire's company doesn't have to pay a living wage or insurance

This reminded me of a scene from the Alice Walker book, Temple of My Familiar. A character feels themselves become theone with their teeth on the leg of a starving child chained to an overflowing table. May we never be that person eating another #eattherich

A poem from the book: In The Bedroom of the Vanities "the superior man corrects himself." looking over my shoulder, a dawn senses relief. the refrigerator ventriloquizes so all animals visit. everywhere is an altar but to what? how this connection? walk with the organs' lantern to seek for whom? found beneath the forest duff the street grit the jail of the mind. hello, it says, hello. please join me here where day has come.

Gift giving season is upon us. This would make a fine gift, and it would make my heart sing if you bought a copy or two.

In St. Petersburg, a 70-year-old man was caught in a hot water flood caused by a utility accident. Trapped after a collision with a taxi, he escaped by climbing onto his car’s roof and then to a nearby truck but suffered burns to his legs. The taxi’s passenger and driver remained hospitalized.
