That look it up was to the “I don’t want to pay for others crowd” It’d cost our Congress and those they serve their ability to launder money though

Private where I let myself be extorted multiple times, premium, deductible, copay, and the cost to my employer 🙃 UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE WOULD SAVE US BILLIONS AND BILLIONS LOOK IT UP

I think it also commented on lack of entrepreneurship and small business which I think we’d see a hell of a lot more of with universal healthcare.

I thought the article was interesting but I also think it really missed some key components as well to limiting mobility like the cost of childcare. Taking care of aging parents. Also the need of dual incomes, not easy when when both individuals need to be able to find jobs in a new location.

Learn more about what would happen to a company of this nature if the growth ended let alone a boycott. Or the fact its entire business model suffers from exhausting the labor pool as a major threat if you’re truly worried for workers. The do nothing attitude has certainly got us far 👍

Never got into Walmart because I saw what happened to small businesses when they went to Ticonderoga. I should’ve avoided Amazon too but with small kids it was hard not to but I am now. Target has been super tough but I’m finding other places.

I think it would absolutely hurt them. Because it’s a sign that consumerism isn’t worth it compared to what it’s costing us. These companies thrive on growth it’s essential for their model. Even stalling it will damage them.

Has to be enough evidence of guilt for the order of protection

Every single news organization should be picking up this story and hammering the implications home. They won’t, but they should. If only these tactics have been used before and if only we knew the purpose and outcome 🙄

They’re typically not afraid of them, they’re typically paid for by them. In addition their personal stock portfolios are usually full of them.

Punishing those seeking higher education tracks. I’m sure military recruitment centers will be happy to hear.

To not acknowledge what the previous administration was doing was ethnically cleansing the region is at best ignorance and at worst consent.

There was never a commitment to ending the genocide. Never a commitment to ending the killing of innocent civilians. The bombing of civilian infrastructure, hospitals, schools, refugee camps even in war is a crime against humanity.

Dems did this to themselves by betraying swing state voters, Michigan obviously, Georgia with cop cities, and progressives by instead pandering to moderate republicans over. Blame needs to be placed where it belongs and not between us. Neither party serves the people as they stand.

At least do not pretend to have been protecting Palestinians by voting for the same admin that enabled the genocide, the genocide that could not have continued had they not sent the arms in violation of our own laws. Harris could’ve condemned it, signaled she’d handle it differently and didn’t.

Some who understand what genocide is, have studied history, have understood the repercussions for all of humanity would say that is black and white.

Because she wouldn’t condemn it? Genocide seems like a pretty reasonable thing to say “I won’t continue that”

Or maybe they shouldn’t have betrayed those voters in the swing states that won them 2020 like Michigan by I dunno, not committing genocide? And Georgia, by not building cop cities? Instead of pandering to moderate republicans that weren’t going to vote for them anyway.

I can’t speak for anyone else but our teacher did an excellent job facilitating the discussion after. I remember all of us being pretty shocked and ashamed we didn’t say anything because we knew it wasn’t fair. As with any activity like that the facilitator certainly makes the difference.

We’re all taking in a lot information very quickly these days best we can do is help each other.

I had an 8th grade teacher do this exact exercise in our critical thinking class. The student was in on it too. And unfortunately same outcome as above. No one did anything.

I had an 8th grade teacher that did this in our critical thinking class. He of course got the student’s consent and explained what would happen ahead of time. He really gave it to him too. We were all shocked but said nothing. I still think about it.

Biden could’ve halted arms at any point and according to US law should have and forced the ceasefire at any time. Without US weapons it could not have continued. And he did not do that at any point and instead continued to send more.

So if Harris is complicit- some would say as 2nd in command also responsible, for the genocide of a civilian population you still can’t fathom why people wouldn’t be able to vote for her while that genocide was actively being committed?

Can’t excuse one and hold the other accountable. If genocide becomes excusable they all, and mean all, know there is nothing they can’t get away with.

None of these criminals deserve our defense of them. We all deserve better. Time we look critically at the whole broken system that led us here instead of fighting one another.

If you want to talk about enthusiastically supporting a genocide I’d make sure you total the amount of arms and funding of the Biden admin making it possible while simultaneously doing nothing to stop the complete shuttering of humanitarian aid which is against US law too.

How about the spread of polio and entirely preventable communicable diseases to an entire civilian population?

She did not stand against the bombing and destruction of an entire populations healthcare system. She did not stand against the violation of our own leahy law. She didn’t back the WHO or UN or humanitarian agencies calling this what it is. She didn’t protect native civilians.

Harris did not stand up for innocent civilians. Like the innocent civilians being terrorized by the policy plans you mention. Just because they were in another country didn’t mean their lives matter less. And a government willing to inflict it there wasn’t going to be willing to stop it here.

Me too. Honestly it’s not like I’m trying to abuse it or anything I usually keep it on airplane mode for the battery power savings. But as a mom of small kids one week is going to differ from the next and sometimes it’s super helpful.

And you can download them and put your kindle on airplane mode and they’ll stay there til you connect to WiFi
