We got several very generous diaper and baby wipe donations to @jcmutualaid.org in memory of Eli. Absolutely heartbreaking.

This afternoon, cut-through Turnpike & Tunnel traffic aggressively rushes through Jersey City. At 6th & Jersey, the site of Eli Bender's recent crash death, a NY TLC driver crowds-in and illegally blocks on-coming traffic.

Finland does this and not only are they super popular and cheap in budget terms they also apparently cut the infant mortality rate substantially www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box of baby clothes and bedding by the state. Some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates.

Over half of Americans don’t make enough to afford a “minimal quality of life”.

Remember that the next time they bang on about making America healthy again.

Folks can’t make ends meet. They need universal healthcare and universal basic income. An end to food deserts. Clean air & water.

Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds

The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.
