A New Supreme Court Case Could Give the Wealthy Even More Political Power
A GOP court challenge could lead to the biggest erosion in campaign spending limitations since “Citizens United.”…
"Interest payments in the US are on a path to consume 30% of the federal government’s revenue by 2035, compared with 9% in 2021. But most important, this will also feed through to the interest charged on all borrowing by companies and household mortgages. If businesses can’t get access to credit, that can halt investment and lead to job losses over time. First-time buyers and those wishing to move home could also face higher costs"

Confess yure sorrows, yure fears, yure hopes, yure love, and even yure deviltrys tew men, but don’t let them git a smell ov yure poverty—poverty haz no friends, not even among paupers.
[Confess your sorrows, your fears, your hopes, your love, and even your deviltries to men, but don’t let them get a smell of your poverty — poverty has no friends, not even among paupers.]

THINK OUTSIDE THE CAGE
The very term 'hiring manager' sounds like organisations devoid of serious HR professionals. There are many aspects to Human Resource Management beyond Recruitment and Selection.
Probably such hiring manager positions are devised by executive mismanagement in view of eventually replacing these "managers" with algorithmic hiring tools.
And yes, each "generation" has unique requirements in terms of their training and development; every generation has distinct strengths and weaknesses.

“Israel is burning children alive, and Congress is complicit!”
This morning, a 17-year veteran and intelligence officer disrupted the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs to call out the billions its members send to fund genocide while veterans are left behind.
Look up "Banana Wars"
It highlights just one portion of centuries of #displacement, #subjugation & #impoverishment for families such as Sabi's
It shows how luxuries experienced in the US & Europe were & are at the expense of families in Central & South America

Global Poverty is Preventable Genocide
with Thomas Pogge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwRD74Ubtt4&ab_channel=MoneylessSociety
Is global poverty improving, or getting worse? In this episode we explore the true reality of the horror of deprivation and mass death from a lack of the basic necessities or generic drugs to cure medieval diseases-- from a lack of money.
Capitalist apologists claim poverty is decreasing, while the line is set at a measly $2 a day-- increase it by even 2 more and the number of people in extreme poverty explodes. 18 million people die every year, 20,000 CHILDREN every day, and 1 in 2 people lives on less than $5.50 a day.
To explore this topic we brought on one of if not THE greatest expert on global poverty, professor Thomas Pogge to counter the establishment narrative that everything is getting better, and work to eradicate poverty as we know it through systemic change.

AQUAMAN 2
the greatest depression
In 1930, during the Great Depression, the average salary in the US was just under $5k. This is around $90k when adjusted for inflation. The average worker doesn't earn $90k. They earn less than half of that!
But, hey, at least we have Aquaman 2 coming out soon!
POVERTY BY AMERICA
Why America's Poor Remain Poor, With Matthew Desmond
Capitalisn’t S2E78
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktZP48gQbsE&ab_channel=StiglerCenter
Poverty will be abolished in America only when a mass movement demands it," writes Princeton sociologist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Matthew Desmond in his new book, "Poverty, by America." Building on his own lived experiences of growing up poor and continued contact with impoverished communities that "forces [him] to be intellectually honest," he claims that poverty persists in America not because we are incapable of preventing it but because society - and especially the wealthy - benefits from it at the expense of the poor.
