The #UnitedStates intentionally sustains world conflicts to give job security to folks working in the #defenseIndustry.
In #Oshkosh , #Wisconsin of the United States, I have informed a dozen local churches of this dynamic.
We can make the economy however we want, there is no need to have an unhealthy dependence on conflict.
We are not doing our service members/veterans any long term favors by refusing to learn from the past.
Notably, #BennyJohnson goes on to thank the current administration for carrying out the “Godly mission of wielding the sword against evil”.

This rhetoric caught me off guard.
Is promoting the belief that it is the will of God for certain specific government officials to rule over a country’s people an expression of #religiousNationalism ?
Does religious nationalism pose a threat to the #freedomOfReligion ?
Does religious nationalism pose a threat to #democracy ?
I haven’t vetted the article much but it seems relevant.

Is anyone here attending #RareDC2025 ( #RareDiseaseWeek in Washington D.C.)?
I am unable to attend. It could be an excellent last opportunity to advocate for the protection of the #AffordableCareAct including insurance protections for pre-existing conditions. Another good ask would be to stop research funding cuts.
It is not a time for our most vulnerable folks to be silent.

While I will be voting for Kamala, I am skeptical of expanding the #childTaxCredit again (especially to such a high amount and to such a wide range of people).
If we don’t start properly enforcing #antitrust laws, what is to stop this extra pool of money from being inflationary?
To address poverty, it would be better to focus on labor rights and raising the minimum wage (while using #antitrustLaws to keep prices in check). I prefer to earn enough from my job vs from the #government. #inflation
The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are releasing a draft update of the Merger Guidelines (Draft Guidelines), which describe and guide the agencies’ review of mergers and acquisitions to determine compliance with federal antitrust laws. The goal of this update is to better reflect how the agencies determine a merger’s effect on competition in the modern economy and evaluate proposed mergers under the law. Both agencies encourage the public to review the draft and provide feedback through a public comment period that will last 60 days.
