“Right above 40 million Americans who officially live in poverty, there are at least 95-100 million who live in a state of chronic economic precarity, just one pay cut, health crisis, extreme storm, or eviction notice from falling below that poverty line.”laprogressive.com/economic-e…

Poverty of the Political Mind

If the U.S. is to redeem itself with a vision of justice, it’s time for a deep and humble acknowledgment of the breadth and depth of poverty in the richest country in human history.

Weird, I call all that poverty. Homeless are just off grid vagabonds. Anywho, So roughly 1/3 of the nation needs better. Weird. Kids are roughly 1/3 arnt they? Oh math! So fun. What other fractions can we play with to describe the despair in this fuckery of a money system?

Could this precarity be the result of political indoctrination from the leftist secular humanist garbage agenda the current regime operates in? The same tyrannical politicians that YOU espouse and support? The ones in cahoots with greedy Corporations and The New World Order?

40 years of declining real wages does this. Koch Bros style capitalism has failed America.

#UBI would drastically improve the lives of around 140 million people. It would give meaningful leverage and support to workers and the most vulnerable people in our society.

Stop sending money to Ukraine or any other congressional pork item. Use our money better. Cut at least half the federal government.

Which is why Biden downplaying the effects of inflation is Cold As Fock. Over one third of Americans are in economic distress while the Prez acts like everything is fine.
