Partisan Divide
prevnextWhile we fight for scraps they(political elite) live in luxury. Until one day capitalism works as intended and we're the real slaves, not just wage slaves, and they are the poor people. It's how the mega rich see them anyway.

Disparity

Band-Aid
prevnextA stimulus bill is a band aid. We need to face the reality of our current society , one that relies heavily on a functioning economy. We must be brave, be respectful of others and wash our hands, limit physical contact, and ultimately open up the economy and take our chances.

Special Interests
prevnextI'm shaking my head bcz that very thing has been on my mind hard of late. Another stimulus check would help a lot of people that I know to get through another 90 days. I'm retired but w/my P/T work gone, my pension & SS payments aren't foolproof. It's getting tighter.

Our country has done relatively nothing to care for its people during a pandemic.60 million newly unemployed.
No relief in sight.
Saturday we take the protests to our Senators homes and make them uncomfortable.

Policy Consequences
prevI’m not in agreement with him on everything, but I like how he frames things - policies are moral choices about suffering. Not just directly abusive policies like ICE camps, but *all* of government is about direct, individual human pain. https://t.co/GOo1dgOjCO
