So if Americans are deciding to be more responsible with their limited funds they’re going to be blamed for ruining the economy? Look, listen, if we have no money to spend, we stop spending. Maybe pay people enough to have discretionary income. Wealth hoarding by the elite class costs *everyone*.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

The response to a Teamsters memo leaking regarding Teamsters members supporting striking starbucks workers has been PROFOUNDLY negative due to their support of Trump last year.

This is going to piss a lot of people off, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: although I know, unions remain important for economic fairness, particularly in this day and age, it’s extremely hard to support/respect them when they/their members support people like this.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

This needs to happen.
It NEEDS to. Cuyahoga County alone has 61 Independent governments within it and at least a half dozen municipalities here have less than 1k people or are in irrecoverable financial distress (looking at you #eastcleveland).
