So much is broken because rich people can’t get enough money.

It’s a game to them.

They hoard money and don’t care what happens to the people that helped them accumulate their wealth.

PSYCHOPATHS.

There was a super interesting episode of The Hidden Brain about psychologists who studied why seniors are so depressed and found the opposite — seniors are largely happier than you'd think. It has something in common with what you say. I really recommend this.

Health care costs are about to EXPLODE for millions of Americans.

Instead of helping their constituents, Republicans are digging in their heels and refusing to negotiate to make health care more affordable for folks in Oregon and across the country.

Just plain wrong.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Keep trying that argument that life in the blue states is worse, especially after the GOP slashes Medicaid and food stamps.

I’m currently (an American) vacationing in Costa Rica and some of the BYD and Chery cars here are beautifully designed and shockingly affordable. The Chery iCAR 03 is a gorgeous EV starting under $30k USD. China is absolutely eating our lunch, and this wound is wholly self-inflicted.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
