It takes 12 days to count to a million and 32 years to count to a billion. It'd take nearly 7,000 years to count to 220 billion. Imagine if we taxed Billionaires a lot more and the middle class a lot less... what a wonderful world it could be...

The GOP is petrified of Zohran Mamdani because they know once democratic socialism works here, as it has in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, they will never be elected again.

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."

But conservatives always yell โ€œsocialismโ€ at every initiative designed to help people.

It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

I hope Tesla goes down in utter flames, like their shitty vehicles. What an awful company, with terrible products and reprehensible leadership. Gross.

$1T at 5% interest is 5.7 million dollars an hour.

More than most will earn in a lifetime.

UnitedHealth Is Cashing In On The Open Enrollment Crisis Whether or not Congress extends the Affordable Care Actโ€™s enhanced premium tax credits, health care giants are poised to extract new profits from patient pain.

Our for-profit health insurance system is like a casino where the house always wins, and we always pay more no matter what happens with the government shutdown. We need to end that system completely.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; itโ€™s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.
