“There was not a family relying on me to pay the rent, put food on the table and keep the bills paid by the end of the month,” she added. “But the reality of McDonald’s is that a majority of the folk who are working there today are relying on that income to sustain a household and a family.”
Obamacare really fucked up the health insurance market. Open enrollment is because of Obamacare. Obamacare was written by the insurance lobby. They created a porous law and likely already had ideas to exploit it before it passed. And they have. It has been an incredible boon to them and Americans have suffered. Healthcare was NOT this expensive before Obamacare and insurance wasn’t this complicated and was more affordable too.
Obamacare is the biggest piece of regulatory capture in our lifetime, and in a time of rampant regulatory capture, that’s saying a lot. It also showcases why our 2 party system is just broken. When the so called left option can produce such a broken capitalist piece of legislation.
Well this election isn’t about reading anymore. It’s about who’s still alive on election day.
Biden will lose. This is a critical juncture, just like 2016, and the Dems are going to fuck it up again, and then blame the voters for not voting when they had every opportunity as a party to correct their shit and not put a person who actually can’t form coherent sentences as their candidate.
If this is the best they can do, then the party needs major reforms. They are handing this to Trump.
Lmao at being downvoted for asking for tangible examples. Platitudes don’t win elections, folks. See 2016.
The article cherry-picks data to reach it’s conclusions. Unemployment is not the best it’s every been. It has been rising rapidly, it’s up half a percent in the last year, and this print was the first pause we’ve had since March. Unemployment is rising due to Fed fighting inflation with higher interest rates. The higher interest rates are the reason inflation is coming down and Biden has done nothing to address that. The only thing he did was dump our oil reserves on the market when gas prices were rising early in the inflation cycle. That was 2 years ago.
List the best action he has taken for each of these.
Biden has also had 0 impact on that. The Fed is managing that because Congress doesn’t do anything but pass legislation for lobbyists and the Fed is also driving up unemployment as a result.
He has done nothing to directly impact the economy. We are in a money-printing generated gilded age where life is tolerable for most and better than ever for a few. As soon as something breaks, everyone below the top 10% will be thrown on the street into abject poverty and we are all just waiting around for that to happen.
That’s the thing about Bernie. He’s hard to smear. Unlike, “my husband cheated on me while serving as President” Hillary. You’re delusional.
The insurance policy would cover a fire but not disease?
It will be felt most by those least responsible.
This is more straight up fascism.
Everyday Palestinians? What genius propagandist came up with that one? Israel doesn’t seem to make the distinction.
As long as you are making money anything goes.
That’s a lot of money we’re spending because of Netanyahu’s crazed bloodlust.
Baldwin was the primary producer on the film and the set conditions had had numerous safety issues up until this point including 3 other firearm misfires. There was a documented safety issue on this set and while Gutierrez-Reed was part of it, the showrunners clearly were too by not taking steps to address it before the tragedy happened.
Ok, I’ve heard of Newsom and I know he’s a California Dem which is literally the last thing anyone in the country outside of California wants. I’ve never heard of Whitmer. Out of touch media propaganda pushing neolib candidates again. People want true progressives.
We had a strong candidate in 2016 and the DNC literally committed fraud to deny him a nomination.
The reason capitalism leads to fascism is that inevitably capitalism will lead to untenable inequality. Injustice will be too great to ignore between the rich and the rest. This will lead to populism.
There are two forms of populism. One will seek to rectify the imbalances caused by capitalism. The other will seek to divert blame to minorities. If there were less blacks, immigrants, gays, Jews, etc. etc. then our society would not be in decay. One is much more useful to the Capitalist and so it will ultimately prevail. The capitalist will devote all resources to crushing the leftist populism up to and including directly funding fascism.
