The rich donβt spend the money they have, and the poor donβt have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Kennedy lied his way thru his confirmation hearings so he could attain the power he needs to implement his reckless plan to undercut, if not destroy, the nationβs vaccine system.
This will cause deaths. Thank you, Trump voters.

TLDR:
we must treat boys with kindness rather than toxic masculinity
we must treat girls with kindness rather than misogyny
we can't address misogyny WITHOUT addressing toxic masculinity
