most restaurant workers *would* rather be with their own families than watch that guy try to figure out a 15% tip in his head, it’s true
I’d suggest he could find meal-based holiday togetherness by volunteering at a soup kitchen, but those people have suffered enough

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

At a private equity firm on “5th and Wall”?
Actual New Yorkers know Fifth Avenue (never 5th!) in NYC doesn’t intersect with Wall Street. It ends at Washington Square Park.
Can you find the other clues that this account is lying and probably a foreign-run bot?
Good luck on leaving the “5 bureaus”

Elon Musk has been having an existential crisis wrapped in a panic attack uninterrupted for multiple years. It's crazy how money can insulate you from meaningful criticism and consequences, but also from anyone caring about or helping you. This is the loneliest man alive. Ha ha. The little bitch.

Workers in Merced County, CA are harvesting sweet potatoes. There's so much work at this time of year that there are multiple shifts. These workers start at 4 a.m. when it's still dark. Lamps hung on the tractor give them enough light to sort the potatoes by size into boxes. #WeFeedYou
