Our health care system in America is disgusting. A clear indication that our government doesn't give a fuck if we live or die.

Corporations are not people.
Their money is not speech.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle."
He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen.
You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

I've said this in the past a few times, and it bears repeating:
I'm convinced that most of the tech industry are sociopaths.
There is no industry more committed to rationalizing mass destruction, and in our current environment, that's saying something.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting.
That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety.
Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Thank you Gloria for leading the way and helping me see with a wide lens that I was not alone in my anger and that there was a word for my philosophy of how to live with these horrors while addressing them head on - feminism.
