@rbreich.bsky.social Feels like the price (& then values) of everything is driven by speculation.
Think about the 2008 housing crisis. In 'The Big Short' there's a point of shock & disbelief that the market hasn't reacted as it should have. Until it did.
Writing is on the wall. It's when, not if.

@rbreich.bsky.social not everyone agrees we should see the percentage of income paid.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A JOKE...
There are ordinary people who believe that poor people do not pay enough in taxes.
How do we get THOSE people to understand that corporate welfare is syphoning from all of us.
Weird war, where the winner gets skyrocketing gas prices, inflation and market crashes while the loser gets control over 20% of global oil flow.
"You 'invite' yourself into someone else's country, drop several thousand pounds of explosives & they don't even offer you tea? Iran hospitality has really gone downhill. No 'please stay for dinner.' No 'we appreciate the surprise.' Very disappointing"😡
I dunno, but having a megalomaniac threaten to nuke my entire civilisation wouldn’t make me want to promise never to have nukes myself.
SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE…👇
All eyes are on Hawaii: The state is one step closer to getting all corporate and dark money out of their politics, and it's the furthest along any similar bill has gotten in any state to make Citizens United irrelevant.
LETS. DO. THIS. 😎✨
@bsky.app Wouldn't a LOL button (next to the ❤️ button) be an excellent addition? Just thinking ❤️s for sarcasm aren't a good choice.
Epstein survivors slam Melania for 'shifting the burden' after surprise statement: "Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice."
"Thurs, emergency responders investigating a call from Ivana Trump’s home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side found her unconscious. They pronounced her dead..
Trump, Donald Jr & Ivanka were supposed to be questioned Friday as part of a New York civil investigation..."

They would be right to have fear... of falling out a window, or down stairs, or hanged & having it called suicide... what else?
These billionaire pedos, oligarchs & dictators have tools to murder & money to pay them. Unless you're Putin, then you use poison that can be traced back directly to you.
Paolo Zampolli, the modeling agent who allegedly introduced Melania to Trump in 1998, fathered Ungaro's child. They were engaged in an ugly custody battle. Zampolli leaned on ICE and his Trump connections to DEPORT Ungaro.
Zampolli also allegedly represented Melania when she was a model...
"Within the Christian tradition, the Psalms speak in a spiritual register not a literal one. Calls for violence do not refer to military battles or human enemies, but to the enemies inside the human soul: sin, injustice & the disordered loves that deform our will."

"...there is no real 'labor shortage,' only a shortage of people willing to work at the wages currently being offered. You might as well talk about a 'Lexus shortage' — which there is, in a sense, for anyone unwilling to pay $40,000+ for a car."

How about opening the fuckin’ Epstein files you crazy bastard?
Believe the victims?! These are heinous crime allegations!
Anyone who still (or ever) trusts Trump is wackadoodle. Just sayin' it's a special kind of stupid.
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Keep pushing!!!
We need 218 in the House, 67 in the Senate. Could an impeachment be shoved through the House in moments? Technically yes. Removal is more complicated because he is entitled to a trial, but again, theoretically possible.
We have a better chance of a heart attack than impeachment in the next 2½ hours
Has Iran demanded regime change to open Hormuz yet?
They’re trolling at this point
Exactly HOW is Trump going to make Iran “a living hell?” Declare it our 51st State?
