Every wonder why a super processed food product is cheaper per unit than fresh fruit and veggies in many stores? Have you also noticed the amount of grossly unhealthy people are around? Coincidence? I used to be one of the grossly unhealthy people. It is a long journey, not a quick fix.

And people wonder why I have zero faith in the U.S. anymore.
A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

Wonder why I won’t support Blue without question? Look a bit deeper and you will see that the old guard Blue is little different than Team Orange. Both thrive on money and power. When Blue refuses to support new voices, are they any better? The people are learning, but they aren’t there yet.
Capital One closed over 300 tRump accounts due to strong suspicions of money laundering activity. Instead of looking closer into this matter, the U.S. completely ignores it.
Remember the tariff refunds? We paid it, the companies benefit from it. Stop buying shit you don’t need. The only thing Megacorp understands is the loss of revenue.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.
Lies,ones and more lies. tRump is incapable of doing otherwise. Iran knows this well and, unlike many other nations, refuses to negotiate with him as they know his word is useless. apnews.com/article/iran...

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Gee… What a surprise! Another “peace” with Iran. Let’s see how long this lasts. Start a war without provocation and expect to be a hero. What a fucking asshole.
If you want to save money and lessen your support of the broken system in the U.S. take care of your car as per the owner’s manual recommended service intervals. It keeps them far more reliable and you don’t need a new car nearly as often.
Sounds like the right nations could take advantage of this and set up a ton of solar and/or small wind systems. There wouldn't be much if any profit, but it would be a stick in the eye of the tRump admin. www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/a...

Tourism should go to zero until a regime change takes place. That includes U.S. citizens wanting to explore more of their own country. The only problem is, this hurts hospitality industry workers.
You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not understand this.
Elon Musk will be spending $100 million to $120 million in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to The New York Times. But Musk’s money shouldn’t be viewed as a problem. It’s an opportunity. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-stink-of-musk
