The US's pedophile president is committing war crimes in international waters, and deploying the military against his own country, and congress is holding hearings about UFOs? Didn't it just come out that Trump took military action against North Korea in his first term, and hid it from congress? What the fuck are they doing? I know under normal circumstances, a government can do multiple things at once, but it really feels like there are too many major issues to be doing shit like this right now.

It's almost like they're trying to make themselves look useless to justify their eventual dissolution.

Does it, though? Can you actually articulate some concrete flaws about Kamala? There's plenty we can say about Trump: con-man, pathological narcissist, morally bankrupt, serial cheater, insurrectionist, rapist, pedophile, fascist, etc.. Republican apologists keep saying "Kamala was so bad, she lost to all that", but what, exactly, were the flaws that made Kamala less appealing than that?

I know it's hard for capitalists to comprehend, but the economy isn't everything. It doesn't matter if a bunch of companies make a ton of money, if the government doesn't collect taxes off it, and spend that tax income on its people.

What are you talking about? The Republicans are not "out of touch" with public opinion. They do not care about it. They are not attempting to represent the will of the people, they are imposing their own will upon the people.

Every Canadian I know expects that Americans are mostly unaware of anything happening outside of their own country.

Don't forget the new work requirements for medicaid, which will be disastrous for all the unemployed folks this article is about.

Which conservatives objected to the BBB, and didn't end up voting for it?

That's interesting. I only expect 0 ads and 0 trailers when I don't pay for a movie.

Wages have been disconnected from productivity for over 4 decades. Like, that's Bernie's whole point; employers see all the benefits of improved productivity, and workers do not get any more money or leisure time.

Your employer does not want to offer you that deal because your employer wants as much of your labour as they can get for as little money as they can get away with paying. They aren't incentivized to pay you one cent more than it takes to stop you from quitting.

Um... yes it does. He's the director of the department of Health and Human Services for this Republican administration. He sets health policy for the Republican party.

In fact, you might want to consider organizing with your coworkers, and trying to negotiate as a collective. I've heard that sort of thing can actually result in meaningful policy changes.
