The next time someone mentions inflation to you, don’t forget to draw attention to the deeper structural driver of rising prices: the concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to price-gouge because they face little competition.

"...The covid stimulus packages...helped create consumer demand that's carried the labor market through a storm of economic uncertainty." This is why a D economy is *always* better–a belief in proven Keynesian economics & investment in infrastructure & tech...not wasting $ on giveaways to the rich.

Professor Kyle @blackcatprose"For months, employers have churned out jobs at a rate that has baffled economists." Really? Not baffling to me. We have a shortage of workers due to lower birth rates; covid related death, disability, & leaving the workforce; & not enough immigration. And lots of folks have money to spend.10:07 AM - Jun 02, 2023

Every year, we lose thousands of lives to gun violence in the United States. It is not rational to live with this reality and continue to do absolutely nothing. We must continue to push for solutions to gun violence. American lives depend on it.

The reason this tape is important is because it shows trump knew he couldn't declassify things with his mind (if the reporting on the audio is accurate).

1/ I had high hopes for Spoutible. I still do. But I seldom use it right now for simple reasons, compared to twitter. There is no way to put people in lists so my only option is to see spouts from EVERYONE I follow in my timeline. Sometimes I only want local news, or politics, or entertainment.

Wow. Organizers are on the verge of getting a referendum protecting abortion rights on the ballot in Ohio.
But Republicans are so afraid it will pass that they're trying to raise the threshold for referendums passing to a 60% supermajority of voters.

The pattern is obvious.
