Please tell me more about how "complicated" and "not straight-forward" it is for Biden to fire this guy.
Please link to me a Slate article telling me about the process.
This guy is in the position because he donated $1.2 MILLION to Trump.

This is ridiculous.
Imagine telling the 1930s labor movement that the government was going to take away their MAIL.

We need to understand that shipping is such a purposefully complicated array of liability, insurance, laws, and responsibilities that it's likely no one is going to be rendered irreparably harmed by this directly.

Indirectly, however, working people of the world will suffer. Image
The vessel itself, Container Ship, M/V Ever Given, is flagged under Panamanian jurisdiction for its favorable [read: minimal responsibilities] maritime laws.

The vessel itself is operated by Evergreen Line (Taiwan).
However, the actual financing (loosely said, ownership) of the vessel could be an obscure array of financiers.

In shipping, each vessel they set up essentially as its own company. So that if it goes down, it doesn't (pardon the pun) sink the rest of the financial ship with it.

I wonder if the recent anti-Chinese rhetoric coming from our Democrats and Republicans alike has anything to do with the fact that China has overtaken the USA by GDP in terms of Purchasing Power Parity.
America cannot exist without an unbeatable foe.

China, USSR, Taliban, Al Qaeda, "radical Islamic terrorism," Communism in general, etc. etc. etc..

Absolute trillions wasted on these attempts to reign supreme have only enriched multinational conglomerates.
In the past EIGHT years (from 2012-2020) Chinese wages have DOUBLED.

The average Chinese worker has TWICE the income they did eight years ago.

In USA the MINIMUM wage has not even kept up with inflation and has remained unchanged since 2009.

It's going to take years, maybe generations, for us to truly understand the devastating impact that COVID-19 has had on us even beyond the ~538,000 Americans that have died.
Our social threads have frayed in ways that can't possibly be re-assembled back to he way it was before we were all fractured.

Distance, silence, isolation, and downright loneliness are in themselves risk factors that greatly impact our physical and mental health.
In fact, some non-pharmaceutical treatments for conditions such as depression involve socialization and the breaking of patterns including solitude.

Our socialization has been limited to things we have to do out of necessity, most poignantly in America, the workplace.

This "poll" only asked 805 registered voters in NY between March 8-12.

Potentially before popular calls for him to resign.

News outlets need to do better instead of circling the wagons around Cuomo.
In the same poll, 52% of respondents reported they would prefer someone else in 2022.
Most respondents said "poor" when asked how they would rate Andrew Cuomo in his job as governor.

Please explain to me why Joe Biden didn't immediately fire Postmaster DeJoy.
DeJoy became US Postmaster General after GIVING DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN $1.2 MILLION. HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE.

What part about this is Biden ending the corruption of the Trump administration?!
So from what I've learned so far, THIS President doesn't have the unilateral power that the previous President has.

The moral of the story seems to be, you can buy the position of Postmaster General for $1.2 million and they can't get rid of you.

It'd be a shame of people had a key to unlock their apartment's washer/dryer payment compartment to do their laundry without having to pay. Image
Allegedly. Parody. Unactionable.
The people that are responsible for financializing our basic necessities of life and accelerating climate change have names and specific ways in which they operationalize the transfer of wealth from our pockets to theirs.

We discuss them at @EatTheRichPod.
