I recall a quote alleging that the boss of a southern water co said she needed her ludicrous pay and bonus as ‘incentive to work’. Always wondered how she thinks the rest of us manage to work!

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
