Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
