@axios Eliminating taxes on tips and social security income will be helpful for those in service work or collecting social security and won't hurt the government much at all. It will be very difficult to prove a case against a company for price gouging and keeping the 2017 tax cuts and tariffs on all imports are both very bad ideas!
@WrapScallion Of for goodness sakes. We've always needed more than two parties. The problem is getting enough people to vote for them so they can make a dent in an otherwise impenetrable system and, if their ideas are good enough, potentially win!
@uspolitics Kamala will destroy him in a debate. He won't be able to get away with his flagrant lies nor will she stand for him to trash talk her. She's going to eat his lunch!
@ren Mind you, not all translations are great, but, the title as literally translated doesn't resonate well in English. The job of a translator isn't just to change the text word for word from Spanish to English but to make certain it is translated in a way that reflects that actual meaning of the text in terms the audience can understand.
Robert ReichThe Biden-Harris FTC is on a roll.
It's suing corporations for abusing their power.
It banned noncompetes.
Now it's investigating "surveillance pricing" tactics where companies use personal data to set different prices for everyone.
This is government working for the people.
@dangillmor I agree. I read this and thought it was one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while, and I've seen a lot of stupid things lately. Kamala has come out of the corner swinging and she'd doing everything she can as quickly as she can to make this a real campaign. Sometimes the NYT needs to just think before they write.
@FSonder Hey, send it to me. I'll wear it!
Bread and CircusesGuess what. The plastic industry (also known as the oil industry) is spending millions of dollars lying to you in ads about "advanced recycling" which doesn't work...
__________________________
If you’ve tuned into any major TV network in the last few months, you may have seen an ad promising a brand new way to end plastic pollution: advanced recycling.
So far, America’s Plastic Makers has spent nearly $30 million since 2023 to place ads touting “advanced recycling” and other sustainability measures.
These ads are not trying to sell products. They’re trying to sell consumers a utopian idea: that plastic consumption can continue as is, without irreparably damaging public health and the planet.

@chrisgeidner I don't care what they do. I would vote for Harris, or any other democrat for that matter, whether they endorse anyone or not. They're useless!
