Americans. Let’s do something. Let’s slice off a hunk of the defense budget and with it… feed, house, educate and CARE FOR THE HEALTH of our people.
If we can envision tens of billions of inflated costs—wasted, lost, pissedaway dollars— goin to the people instead of the filthy war mongers & politicians in the grip of the military industrial complex…
we would be on our way to a better, cleaner, happier, more peaceful Earth.❤️
I mean it’s this or we split Bezos among the 98%. I’m just spitballing.
Where’s my Republicans?
C’mon! Get in on this!
We can all get behind defending our country AND caring for our veterans once they return home? You MUST resent the cash going to fill billionaire’s vaults for their douchebag children to spend on G4s rather than our brave veterans.❤️

Been in Toronto for 2 weeks. Every single Canadian I talk to I ask about healthcare. Each & every one of them LOVES it even if they have to wait for elective procedures.
Know why?!
Because it’s:
•NOT TIED TO EMPLOYMENT
•FREE
•EXCELLENT SERVICE
•DOES NOT BANKRUPT THEM
•HUMANE
O, dear American friends. Tell us your healthcare provider love stories. (I’ll explain why you don’t know what you’re taking about)
#CANADIANS…
Here’s a question:
When you owe taxes, like back taxes, let’s say… let’s say a lot of money…
When you’re carried into a hospital with a heart scare or something, does the tax collector come with a clipboard and ask for you to pay up before they admit you?

Wealth disparity works in nasty ways on big issues that skew equity that the wealthiest can not even begin to process.
Education is critical.
We all agree.
But… the question for all parents is how to send a child to private school or live in an area where public is exceptional and then to send that same child to college locally or get the pick of the litter of the world’s great universities.
For the 99%,
this is a GIGANTIC FINANCIAL HURDLE that barely resembles a DECISION.

It is an entire life struggle for the families of tens of millions of underpaid workers.

Rent and food and medicine take precedent.
There can be no plan but hard work.

America has a poverty problem. So in 2017, why did Senate leadership vote for a GIGANTIC TAX BREAK for the wealthiest Americans at a time when they LEAST needed it while America’s people suffered as poverty levels rose through the roof? (Stealing from @profwolff on @jimmy_dore.)
When wealth disparity threatened to cause civil unrest, FDR made the bold move of hiring all the unemployed Americans & PAID THEM a fair wage to work.

He demanded the wealthiest Americans give some blood to avoid ruin.
FDR taxed the wealthy to hire Americans who were falling through the cracks. Millions of them. He did it in order to PROTECT big companies from dying (and a potential revolution) once they impoverished their CUSTOMERS/WORKERS with crushing wealth disparity.
It worked.

PRO TRAVEL TIP:

DON’T.
I kid. But seriously.

Ya know how covid has been this thing where it’s either hitting you and your circle or it’s not... really?

Or... it’s a hoax?

Well... it’s not that.
It’s all around us.
It’s picking up speed.
I and too many of my friends now have immediate stories.
Close friends and family

In LOS ANGELES.
We are overloaded.
They triage people away.
