I'm an old man too (52 at end of year)!

great report. how many people would quit their jobs and start businesses if the fear of failure was mitigated by knowing there was a real social safety net ready to catch them, and childcare was provided by the state? and how many people would accept jobs they didn’t love or salaries they felt were inadequate if they…

But we’re the media, too, so I went to talk to some small business owners in Copenhagen to learn the truth.

What part of what comment it supports?!?! I only jumped in to provide a link.

You sure about that? High earners pay a federal progressive tax upwards of 37% after their first $500K. State tax in NY is 4-8.82%. Sales tax is 4% for the state, and another 4.5% for NYC. Property tax ranges from .8-1.65%. Some have payroll tax, most have Social Security and SSDI. Then there’s consumption and excise…

For us, it depends. I do wash whole chickens, don’t usually wash cut pieces.

This needs to be a nationwide thing. It sucks only a handful of teachers in four or five states have done this. There needs to be an all-out education strike.

Off topic but related: South Carolina teachers are marching today. A few school districts have closed - don’t think it’s considered a strike though.

Here’s an edit I would make if I were on Pete’s team: “Vaccines are safe and effective. Pete believes they are necessary in maintaining public health.” Please stop putting the ‘believe’ part in front of the fact part. Facts are facts whether or not you believe them!

The only thing worse than a bad Union is no Union.

Today and tomorrow (Wed/Thur) should be interesting. If Barr actually appears and testifies, it’s going to be an absolute circus, with Republicans pulling out every bit of rhetorical sleight-of-hand they can manage in an attempt to defend an indefensible breach of DOJ independence (inasmuch as it ever existed in the…

Don’t forget corporate media that is complicit in laundering apartheid and ethnic cleansing as Israel’s “right to defend itself”.

A distant jet (not on afterburners so it may not be that loud) passing in front of you makes a hard turn to port, a few maneuvers (or passing through light wispy clouds) and then a hard turn to starboard to resume their original heading?

But Israel doesn’t control our government. Not even a teeny little bit.

Senators who voted for anti-BDS legislation in 2019:

They’re willing to ban support of Palestine but allow neo nazis to go on about their business. America has some serious problems. 

What. No, seriously... What is this? Like F35 pilots with the new fangled helmets seeing the results of an uptick in cosmic rays from Sun spots that generate visual hallucinations? Russian spy drones? It's for sure not actually ET's, otherwise we'd all be seeing them.
