My last visit there was two years ago over the Christmas holidays. It was so crowded you could hardly move. Few elevators and unending steps. So go ahead, raise prices, I won't be gouged.

This is a fresh eye opener on the present financial moment and its correlation with Maga-anger, however misplaced it is. Not even a $25/hour minimum wage would fix this.
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.
Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.
They're selling out their own voters.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Here's my peace plane. Every person in the Ukraine (Ukrainian & Russian) lay down their weapons and go home. UN Peacekeepers gather up all the weapons and destroy them. On the wider scale think what the world could be like if we stopped funding weapons!

Air Travel could be significantly improved by the FAA stipulating three things:
* One free checked bag for all customers
* Minimum legroom set at Comfort/Premium Economy standard (which was the old pre-9/11 standard legroom)
* Disallowing stock buybacks for airlines
Every flight instantly better
* One free checked bag for all customers
* Minimum legroom set at Comfort/Premium Economy standard (which was the old pre-9/11 standard legroom)

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Why not go, say what you have to say, and let the chips fall where they may?
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
