This is just obscene. The levels of inequity that allow this are the single biggest block on any progressive agenda. It’s just so depressing.

Meanwhile the bottom half of Americans saw their income decline 7% over the past 15 years.
If you look an a global scale it’s even worse...
It’s a horrible cycle as well with moguls now monopolising the ownership of media outlets so choosing the hue in which the narrative is framed. Not good. Not good at all.
deb brokeThis just it in... is is actually yes 2020 yet.
I like and agree with the principle. The more pragmatic side of my brain inevitably starts asking, though, what's better: a purist who gets undermined at every turn but demonstrates a moral stand, or someone who, product of the system though he/she/they may be, might be able to make incremental progress by continuing to chip away at the monolith of conservatism?
And then the voice in the back of my head starts screaming that it's way too late for incrementalism and what are we all even doing since this is so obviously a lose-lose scenario.

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy criticized Democrats over their Iran War Powers resolution that will get a floor vote later today.
He called it a “meaningless vote that only sends the wrong message that the House Democrats would rather stand with the socialist base than stand against Iran.”
McCarthy also criticized House Democrats over their response to President Trump’s conflict with Iran, accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of defending Iranian general Qasem Soleimani who was killed in a US airstrike.
“I never thought there would be a moment in time that the Speaker of the House of Representatives would actually be defending Soleimani … that they would be defending Iran," he said.
The rich don't need it to be sustainable. They just need it to last as long as they're alive to spend their money .Meanwhile the bottom half of Americans saw their income decline 7% over the past 15 years.
That's just unacceptable. Costs of housing/rent are skyrocketing. Then you have inflation, health insurance and what not going up. It's just not sustainable.
