The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

I care about the hostages because I'm not a monster. No civilian deserves that horrid fate. But the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilian executions by the IDF are treated as a cost of doing business by zionists, the US admin, a broad swath of Israelis and diasporic supporters of Netanyahu.

Somewhere out there, an economics or commerce professor is explaining why this is a market-distorting government intervention that results in deadweight loss and is bad for society.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

If you believe every embryo is endowed with an immortal soul, and God (the author of nature) has decreed that 10-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and either baptism or a profession of faith are necessary to avoid eternal damnation, then your God is simply evil, and your beliefs are insane.

Being a 1984 baby is great. Developed nation governments across the planet decided to cut every social program that helped the boomers succeed. But... Hollywood released a pile of awesome movies.

My parents sure picked the right time to rawdog!

Even low level bureaucrats do it. The hospital in my hometown hired a fake nurse. Many deaths could be (but were not) attributed to her.

Guess what never made the press? Both of her parents worked at the hospital in administrative capacities. One was in HR.

Corruption is pervasive throughout any government agency that lacks a third party procurer. When frontline people dont choose the equipment they use, somebody up the chain of command is either buying the wrong thing for cheap, or expensive with a kickback.

"We are confident in the hospital's procurement processes and policies, and recently audited the controls within our redevelopment projects to validate that we have a rigorous system in place."

Haha. Good joke. These guys were just dumb enough to get caught. #Ontario

I am a Canadian citizen and I demand an end to the sale of arms to Israel. The war crimes currently being perpetrated by Isreal's Neyanyahu administration surely call for this not-so-drastic measure.

Tonight I learned that the #45King (Mark Howard Jones) was the inspiration for DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist's Freeze show in LA c. 1998, and whiteboy 45 turntablism in general.

Love you Shadow, Love you Joshua! Thanks for keeping the movement alive!

Yes, a recent poll in the US had over 60% of Americans opposing Israel, a complete reversal from 2 years ago & the first time in history most support Palestine . A majour shift . Plus some Dems are saying they will no longer accept AIPAC - a front 4 Israel -blood money, Israeli bribes

I will be curious to know how an AIPAC boycott would ever hapoen, and if it does, how would it play out at election time. As in, who would remain faithful to the boycott, and who would win elections, and how the AIPAC bribe would change if the support base shrank. Would it grow or shrink? I dunno.

The white supremacists must be having a pile of meetings to decide if Israelites>Palestinians. Awkward that it's essentially the same conversation happening at middle class dinner tables across Europe and North America.
