I investigate cases involving the catastrophic injury & death of working people. How a society treats those who do its work shows how good it is. No one should be permanently injured or killed making a living.

We need a government that prioritizes dignified safe work that pays a decent wage.
Everyone should be able to be safe & healthy- regardless of what work they do.We need construction workers, health care workers,people who pick up the trash & who work in restaurants.We should respect their importance

Today, in Trump's second administration, just 17% of Americans trust the government.

Ukraine Is Being Pushed Toward a Deal That Ignores the Core Issue: Russia’s Ongoing Aggression and the Erosion of International Law
Ukraine faces pressure to accept territorial concessions as unofficial U.S. envoys and financial interests shape peace talks, risking global norms and legitimizing Russian aggression.

In every company there are hundreds of things you can't afford to hire people to do. Tedious, voluminous work that has mistakes that are often expensive. Going forward companies will hire new college grads who can do Agentic AI, which will soon be all of them , to write agents to do these jobs

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President.
This is a big deal!
If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

Imo. No one is ruining baseball by paying players and creating an environment players want to be a part of. Other teams can also do this and choose not to. Cheap owners and MLB (Manfred) have been trying to bust the union for years so they can put in a salary cap and many fans are buying into it.
