The main reason we should cancel the college loan debt is because it should never have occurred to begin with.
From the start, it represented a terrible scam by which financial institutions created a profit center out of the admirable desire of our young to better their lives.

Guaranteed paid sick leave and paid maternity and paternity leave are functions of any sane society.
There is an economic barbarism to any business model that pays its CEO tens of millions of $ but won’t let its workers stay home with the flu or when they have a newborn child.

Humanity is on a collision course with itself, a subconscious suicide march as we continue to tolerate industry behavior that is literally shutting down the earth.
The sooner we realize this the sooner the change can come. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

This sentence has an element of restorative justice to it. These men might learn something.

No words for what a bad idea this is.
"San Francisco's Board of Supervisors approved a controversial draft policy that would allow police robots armed with explosives to use lethal force against suspects as a last-resort option."

In a perverted form of capitalism now vogue - a monopolistic behemoth ethically unfettered & politically unregulated - the suffering of millions is baked into the business model.
People & earth are collateral damage posed by a deranged economic worldview that controls our lives.

The president says he had to side with the railroad companies to get the problem solved before the xmas rush.

Proud pro-labor president except when labor really needs you?? @POTUS
FDR would be spitting out his coffee.
I'm calling on Congress to pass legislation immediately to adopt the Tentative Agreement between railroad workers and operators.
Let me be clear: a rail shutdown would devastate our economy. Without freight rail, many U.S. industries would shut down.

You go Max @maximillian_alv
2 things everyone needs to understand: 1) It is BECAUSE they always counted on Biden/Congress forcing a deal down workers' throats that rail carriers saw no reason to bargain in good faith for 2+ yrs or to change the profit-maximizing practices that have blown up the supply chain
