Every wage ought to be a livable wage.
My letter to reps: Please hear me clearly on this, the republican leader of the pennsylvania house is a dipshit. Every wage should be a livable wage. That ahole’s 16 year old son also deserves to be able to save up for college or a car or whatever else, because heaven knows if he didn’t […]
The inherent lie in promising jobs in trickle down eugenics.
People keep describing eugenics when they talk about what politicians have been doing with society and why, but nobody names it because you get attacked if you say it, but we need to get past that.

Talking about economic uncertainty due to the continued tariff related fruit basket upset, Kevin Hasset told CNBC that things will clear up after April 2nd. This is the same Kevin Hasset who has been repeatedly and outrageously wrong.
The problem with “no tax on tips” and the tip-ification of the job market.
I recommend listening to AOC’s response to the presidential address purely for the very good explanation of what’s wrong with the idea of “no tax on tips” and the perverse “unintended consequences” that would come out of that.

H1B visas are bad for labor and really anyone outside of the tycoons who game the system.

Tycoons demonizing remote work in an agenda to deliberately wreck the government & future society.
My letter to reps: Remote work is a part of modern society and should be prioritized wherever it can be in order to facilitate disability accommodation, tamp down fossil fuel expense and emissions, and reduce the spread of disease. Telework is a necessary part of a functional future society and should be incentivized in government […]
