The US economy is performing amazingly well, but as Bloomberg's Matthew Winkler notes, the public overall doesn't realize that. Why?

He alludes to the key reason for the public's lack of understanding, but doesn't make clear what it is, so allow me to be clear that "media narrative" doesn't explain who's primarily at fault.

The culprit is Big Journalism, again utterly failing to do its job.

It should be obvious by now that the point of purchasing Twitter was to destroy any possibility that you could determine a credible news source. That’s what the whole verification issue is about. The goal was to shift credibility to random, right wing and white supremacist nutjobs who pay.
MAGA Logic:
-Abortion: Ban it
-Marijuana: Ban it
-Drag shows: Ban it
-Immigration: Ban it
-Dialogue on racism: Ban it
-Books by Black authors: Ban it
-Books by LGBTQ+ authors: Ban it
-Guns: BANS DON’T WORK YOU SNOWFLAKES

We don't have to live like this.

Such a decent man, President Carter. Republicans tried to destroy him. He’s exactly who we ought to be. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/03/25/jimmy-carter-best-friend-race/

I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

It doesn't matter what side of the aisle good ideas come from. This below, the Republican-proposed elimination of tax on women's menstrual products, investments in green technology are indeed welcome.

But they would have been more welcome YEARS AGO when Democrats proposed these exact same things & Republicans fought tooth & nail against them!
