Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

The fact that they would still give Covid boosters to people over 65 and people with preconditions means they know the boosters work and are needed. There is literally no justification for taking them away from everyone else besides just being huge dicks

This is 100% correct. Trump is disarming the DOJ as we speak. Through the courts, the state AGs have some leverage to act against the improper government incursion by Elon Musk and his minions. I wrote AG Bonta of CA today. I urge you to write your AG. Now.
EVERY CITIZEN file a complaint online with your states Attorney General. Here’s your prompt
DOGE’s overreach is alarming. Illegally accessing private data via the Treasury Department demands immediate investigation. Regardless of partisan loyalties, this should concern us all.

The new levies on America’s top trade partners could drive prices higher for cars, electronics, lumber and more, threatening to crimp an economy that the president has vowed to improve.
