Next time you read a media piece bashing NHS staff, ask yourself “does this piece make it sound like the staff are possessions, owned by the state?” and then please ask if you think the media should be talking about humans in this way.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
