1/5 Supply-side economics💰claims that tax cuts for rich people and businesses spur growth. But is it that simple? Let’s delve into it. #EconomicPolicy#SupplySideEconomics
2/5 First up, tax cuts can boost income inequality. The rich get richer, while funding for public services, often benefiting the less affluent, takes a hit due to less government revenue 💸. #IncomeInequality 📈
3/5 Second, supply-side theory assumes companies will reinvest their extra cash to grow and create jobs 👷♀️🧑✈️. But what if they use the funds for stock buybacks or increased executive pay instead? 🤔💰 #CorporateBehavior
4/5 Third, the idea that tax cuts will fuel enough growth to offset reduced revenues often falls short in reality, leading to bigger budget deficits and national debt 💳💔. #NationalDebt 🌪️
5/5 In a nutshell, supply-side economics 📈 comes with downsides: increased inequality, dependence on corporate choices, and surging national debt. #EconomicPolicy

2️⃣ The Electoral College is an outdated system that distorts the principle of "one person, one vote." 🙅♂️🗳️ It gives disproportionate power to states with smaller populations, diminishing the voice of the majority. #OnePersonOneVote#RepresentationMatters
3️⃣ Under the Electoral College, candidates focus on swing states while largely ignoring others. This means that citizens in non-battleground states often feel neglected and their concerns overlooked. 🗺️⚖️ #SwingStates#NeglectedVoices
1/7 📉 The late 90s and 2000s were characterized by low interest rates and tax cuts.
While these policies were intended to stimulate the economy, they’ve also had significant implications for wealth inequality in the United States. #economics#inequality
2/7 💵 Low interest rates make borrowing cheaper.
This can benefit wealthy individuals and corporations who have access to credit, enabling them to invest in businesses, real estate, and other assets that can generate wealth. #interestrates#wealthgap
3/7 🏦 For ordinary Americans, however, low interest rates can mean reduced returns on savings.
With little to no growth on their savings, it becomes harder for the middle class to build wealth. #savings#middleclass
1/5 Rising temps in the North Atlantic are more than just a climate change indicator - they pose real threats to human life. Let’s talk about why. #ClimateChange#NorthAtlantic

3/5 Second, thermal expansion from warmer waters contributes to sea level rise. This could lead to increased coastal erosion and flooding, displacing people from their homes and affecting livelihoods. #SeaLevelRise
