Want to understand the hubbub about the debt ceiling? Perhaps this little ditty will explain it...
If the government shuts down, it’s because the Trump party made it happen.
Don’t buy the analogy of increasing your credit limit (which would allow you to go further into debt when you’re maxed out). A more accurate analogy is getting a home equity loan to make your car payment (i.e., to pay for a debt you’ve already incurred). And if you fail to make your payments, then your credit rating will crash, no one will give you loans in the future, you lose your car, and then you lose your job.
Let's see...Alex Jones has to pay close to a billion dollars, Trump arrested (sure to be the first of many criminal charges), Faux News having pay close to $800 million with an even bigger case to come...
MLK was right, the moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice...
Media Matters’ news director John Whitehouse spoke to cable subscriber fees after the Dominion/Fox News settlement.
“Fox News made roughly $1.9 billion from cable subscriber fees alone in 2022. And most of that is from people who never even watch the channel.”
“It’s absolutely ridiculous that cable companies make virtually all Americans subsidize this shit channel,” Whitehouse added.
“If you’re wondering who is paying the settlement, it's you, if you have a cable subscription with Fox.”
