Our economic system doesn’t work if 37% of people on food assistance are working full time. These companies are exploiting and stealing from their workers.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

A great guide, and I think a lot of non-poets would also love these ideas, especially a small press subscription! I currently have one from World Poetry and it’s amazing!

Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!

The U.S. poverty line for a family of four is $32,150.

However, investor Michael W. Green argues it should be more than four times higher, a threshold that would classify most American households as living “in poverty” by his measure.
An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

“i told you not to look!”

“i like it! i like scary things. i watch scary things on my tablet.”

My child keeps trying to watch Stranger Things with me. (I’m rewatching the eps we were told to rewatch ahead of starting S5.)
