People can’t afford rent or groceries and the federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour.
That is a slap in the face.
If you work full-time, your paycheck should be enough to live on. Anything less is a failure to uphold the social contract.

It has survived several extinction events and several million administrations
This is a type of rock called a banded iron formation.
It's made of alternating layers of iron oxides (magnetite and haematite) and silica (chert and chalcedony).
It's 3.2 billion years old.
And it formed before life had oxygenated Earth's seas and atmosphere. It's almost from another planet.

Some ACA subsidies are set to expire soon — increasing insurance premiums by as much as 75%.
Instead of extending them, the GOP gutted Medicaid — throwing 10 million off coverage and possibly causing the closure of many rural hospitals.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
