I’ve finished reading “Capital” volume one for the first time and I believe it has something to do with linen or coats but I can’t say for certain.

Elon Musk and DOGE are trying to shut down the CFPB. The agency formed after the 2008 financial crisis has returned $21 BILLION to working people cheated out of their hard-earned money by big banks.

Elon and the DOGE are NOT working class heroes.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers.

That you give everyone $2-$3.

But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

Carmelo was pruning in the wine grape vineyards of northern California on Friday. It was lightly raining on & off. Workers were working. If it kept raining or started raining harder, workers would be sent home. This will mean they don't be paid for those hours. #WeFeedYou

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.
