Thanks and well-parsed!

Even with a working spouse, one income isn’t enough anymore. I really don’t know what people are supposed to do. Every industry except healthcare has been bleeding for months

With the Lula news, I’m feeling a mild to gle degree of hope! Come on USA, fuck this up as little as possible!

Snap is a subsidy for farmers and helps stabilize our food supply. Every dollar spent on SNAP returns $1.50-$1.80 back in economic activity. Everyone should be in favor of it

The cruelty is the point.

Taking a slightly different tack, I think a lot of the extractive destruction of our quality of life is due to our failure to understand the sociopathy of the ultrawealthy and how preventing them is necessary for our way of life.

The "middle class* as we think of it is an historical aberration. Most of recorded history is a few owners and roughly everyone else living in poverty. That’s what I see coming down the bend if we don’t act pretty damn soon

I’ve come to realize that I was assuming that there was a limit somewhere to “the market staying irrational”. I’m not so sure anymore
