People misunderstand the poverty v precarity debate
If you're impoverished, you may have no choice but to remain in New York, the greatest city in the world
But if you're living precariously, you may be forced to spend a week in Hell on earth: the slopes of W Virginia or the beaches of Panama City

Pretty wild that Nvidia has more than 10X'd in five years thanks to the US tech sector, but they're willing to sell this country out to our biggest geopolitical rival for just a few more gains
(And also that our President is facilitating it in exchange for money & nice words)

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
