             Nobody is talking about what shutting down food stamps (SNAP) is going to do to small neighborhood grocery stores. Human costs of going hungry outweigh all that of course, but for those who think money is more important than people (and there are more than we imagine) it’s signif

             I stand with @RepThomasMassie. America needs more like him who are unafraid to vote their conscience and loathe to sell out or fold under pressure. 
           JD Vance on Thomas Massie: "Having your own opinions is one thing...voting against the party on every single issue, you're going to make enemies...every time we've needed Thomas for a vote, he's been completely unwilling to provide it."

             In our times, racists have learned to keep silent and simply wait for (or create) someone in their targeted demographic to speak for them, to say all the racist things they want to say, so they can just BOOST the shit out of them and sit back and take no flak. 
           After researching SNAP benefits this guy has COMPLETELY changed his mind about them. The more you know, the worse they are.

             I'm sure they'll be telling us that the record numbers of car repossessions are not really a problem because now (or soon) the automakers can just issue a command for their cars to drive back to the factory on their own power for detailing and resale.

             The 10 richest people on Earth have grown over $500 billion richer this year primarily due to AI stocks. The billionaires are going to become trillionaires by investing in a technology that’s going to eliminate our jobs. You don’t hate capitalism enough.

             You ask why Venezuela can’t "grow food and transport it." The answer is simple: Because Washington made sure it couldn’t. You can’t grow food when your fertilizer imports are banned. You can’t transport it when your fuel refineries are sanctioned. You can’t sell it when your

             Also, to take it to the next level, how will corporations survive when their markets collapse because there are no longer any consumers (aka workers) to buy their products? 
           “Stop hiring humans. The Era of AI Employees is Here.” Billboards across the country are promoting the replacement of millions of jobs with AI and robotics. Great idea. One simple question: How will those displaced workers survive when there are no jobs or income for them?

             And then, maybe, Trump will mobilize all the military against the U.S. population, maybe sniping looters, for example, just to further inflame the situation and to justify and consolidate an authoritarian regime. 
           Poverty breeds crime. Like, directly. If you think people losing healthcare, SNAP, housing, allat isn’t going to flip this country over you’re a fool. You will see a spike in crime. Criminology 101.

             Is humanity committing suicide by creating AI? Well, no, but only because "suicide" doesn't capture the species finality of extinction.

             You can call every sudden collapse just a “bike accident”, “car wreck,” “accidentally fell down,”but a lot of us on the front lines know what these look like up close.

             I count myself lucky to have Medicare even though it is slowly being hollowed out by privatization. I don't know what I'd do if I were trying to raise a family now like Christopher. Dems hold strong. Negotiate to preserve ACA first. Then end the shutdown. 
           Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time. People are about to get priced out of
