Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

Left: Causes of death in the US in 2023. Heart diseases and cancer are leading the way.

Right: What the New York Times covered in 2023. Homicide and terrorism cover about 60% of all news.

I don't ask for the two bars to totally be the same, but more reality in reporting would be beneficial.

What centrist libs can't seem to internalize is that the US contains a large, longstanding, well-funded political movement that *wants political violence and authoritarianism*. It does not need to be provoked in any way in order to pursue those goals.

Turns out running a campaign entirely around the fact that you are Gen-Z is not the play.

Anyone who wants to be the Democratic nominee for anything needs to articulate how they will make life better for voters. Not biographies, not generalities, but clear policy positions.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

I would say no more excuses. But, excuses are the only thing they do well.
this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
