He’ll nit support cost of living, depressed wages, and will continue to offer tax breaks to the wealthy. Maybe he throws LGB people a bone, but he will absolutely make sure trans people get shafted. He’s a corporate Dem when what the Dems actually need to be doing to helping working people.

Because the neoliberal order has absolutely decimated the standard of living for most people. People are driven from their homes by skyrocketing prices while their standard of living declines. We all see the wealth we are creating, but each year get a smaller and smaller slice of the pie. Fascists pry at the obvious flaws in the system, while the established institutions and parties swear that just a bit more austerity and investment into tech and finance companies will make everything better. Free-marlet capitalism has failed and everyone knows it, but the only the fascists are allowed to voice their solution since it further benefits the wealthy.

Typically the state government is the largest single employer in any given state. If California withheld all their public employees’s federal income tax, Uncle Sam would feel that pretty sharply, especially if joined by New York and New England.

And how is it going in your country? Because i would bet my bottom dollar that the far right nationalist party either just made massive ground in your last election, or are predicted to have a massive increase in the next election. This isn’t an American issue, it’s a “our modern society is crumbling around us” issue.

You can hold someone accountable when a person runs over a child or a pet. Who is the responsible party when a waymo kills someone?

People were reporting on cars being remotely accessed and disabled over 10 years ago. If it has any communication with outside systems, it is susceptible to malevolent actors.

Literally more journalists died in Gaza after October 7 than in 4 years of war in Ukraine. Israel has been intentionally targeting any journalists they can find in Palestine.

“it’s very important that every one quietly starves to death while being beaten by police, or else the government will starve the rest of us and beat them up as well!”

I am lucky if i have $300 in my bank account after all my expenses each month, and i live in a cheap town working a 9-5 job. I have no health insurance and have had to cash out multiple 401k’s to cover emergency expenses in the past 4 years. Saving for the future is an absolute joke since i can’t even afford to live today.

Probably because Israel kills more journalists than any other country

Oh they are beyond just avoiding being furloughed. They are getting all their earlier unpaid checks plus all their overtime pay.

Damn, looks like Trump shouldn’t have slasher the IRS budget and fired all their auditors.

Back when i had jobs that had 401k plans, all the calculators said i needed over $1 million to retire at age 70. Meanwhile i was living paycheck to paycheck trying to put something in there. How tf am i supposed to squirrel away 7 figures when i have mever made $40,000 in a year?

SCOTUS told us it isn’t illegal if the president does it. He literally could have mandated all data on federal student loans be forgiven. Biden sat on his hands for 4 years and expected people to just support his designated successor.

It does literally no good as they just stuff what they can offshore to avoid any taxes. They do nothing for the economy other than to drain resources.

The aquifer has been totally drained by wildcat wells since there is almost zero access to running water in Jakarta. The draining of the aquifer has resulted in the rapid sinking of the city

Jakarta is quite literally sinking into the sea. The government’s solution was to move the capital to a new island

Friendly reminder that Canada was a global leader in various vaccines until Mulroney privatized Connaught labs in the 80’s. Profits over public health has been the MO for the last 40 years

Who’s he going to replace them with? There is already s massive shortage of ATCs with most airports below FAA guidelines prior to the shutdown.

They thought like would go up forever, and now that the line is starting to slow down, they gotta do a sacrifice to make the line look like it is still going up
