I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

And once you're in between, it's exponentially harder to find a home, even with a full time job.

One of a number of ideas to help those without housing. Most of us in the States are just a few months and one unexpected substantial bill (often medical) away from not having a home. www.npr.org/2025/10/06/n...

An unusual 'village' aims to help people leave long-term homelessness for good

Chronic homelessness is at a record high, but there's a shortage of housing, rehab and mental health treatment. One ambitious program in Utah is finding a way to offer all that plus jobs.

If you live in:

South Dakota
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee
Mississippi
Alaska

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump:

SD - Up 235% LA - Up 150% WV - Up 387% WY - Up 382% TN - Up 320% MS - Up 314% AK - Up 346%

Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Having had Moxie (the soft drink), I'd still choose it over Malort. I had diet Moxie once, provided by a friend who brought it back from the Northeast... I recall that being rough.

I was born in '73, and have a memory that extends back to when I was 2 (much to the chagrin and dismay of my parents and other older relatives, as I remember things they wish I didn't).
