  1. Don’t hold on to power that’s beneath you. Don’t tell me your hands are tied ,when your selling your soul. Who gives anyone the right,if not you,to yours. It’s not your school system if you gotta ask for it. Make what you can,and be who you really are,without strings to move you.

    1. *The $600 Billion Man: A New Report Highlights One Cost of the Obama Legacy*

      *As if taxes haven’t been high enough, the U.S. Government also forced Americans to spend an eye-watering $1.9 trillion in 2016 just to comply with federal regulations. That’s according to the latest annual “10,000 Commandments” report released today by Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. “If it were a country, U.S. regulation would be the world’s seventh-largest economy, ranking behind India and ahead of Italy,” notes Mr. Crews. He adds that our regulatory tab is nearly as large as the total pretax profits of corporations.*

      Mr. Crews has become one of the most hated men in Washington by tabulating the hidden costs—those not counted in the roughly $4 trillion of direct federal spending—that politicians and bureaucrats impose on the American economy. And nobody imposed more than Barack Obama. According to the Crews annual scorecards, the yearly cost of federal regulation soared by more than $700 billion in nominal dollars from 2008, the last full year of the Bush Administration, through Mr. Obama’s final full year of 2016. Adjusting for inflation, you can call Mr. Obama the $600 Billion Man.

      One measure of the amount of red tape spewing out of Washington is the number of pages of proposed and final rules printed in the Federal Register. “Of the top 10 all-time-high Federal Register page counts, seven occurred under President Barack Obama,” notes Mr. Crews. And let’s hope that Mr. Obama’s latest record, set on his final lap in 2016, will never be broken. Mr. Crews reports that the register “finished 2016 at 95,894 pages, the highest level in its history and 19 percent higher than the previous year’s 80,260 pages.”

  2. President of Law and Order? Defender of the Constitution? Ha! Let’s see his tax returns and bank records! What’s he hiding from the voter?

    1. @Lurking Grue – Nope, I have 100’s

      that hasn’t been posted in at least 2 months

    1. What’s the difference between Conservatives and Democrats?
      Conservatives want you to have a job, Democrats want you on welfare.
      TRUMP 2020!!!

  3. I just smile cynically when Geoffrey Canada talks about equality in our school systems!😏😏 Right now the American people are in serious dire straights while their President is promising relief to Lebanon! I’m NOT against the idea itself; but Puerto Rico is STILL struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria, the Trump administration & its GOP selfish cronies think that $600/week for US the TAXPAYERS is “a waste”!😢😢 Building a capricious wall on our southern border, or unnecessarily relocating our troops from Germany is worth WASTING OUR TAX dollars! What about those multi millionaires & billionaires you would say. Well, Elon Musk is more interested in sending the rich tourists to space, others rather “donate” to charities so that they can get some tax breaks!🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  4. I was shocked to learn there are over 300K kids in US with covid, and 97K of them just in the last 2 weeks of July. It’s time to stop spreading the fiction that kids don’t get infected. There’s the covid-related Kawasaki-like syndrome (multi-inflammatory) that is extremely dangerous in kids as well. We need FDA to fast track approval of those saliva strip self-test sets with the reusable monitor so every child can be tested at home every morning before school (not to mention every adult before work). Combined with masks, the country could reopen immediately. Just make sure those with provable positive results have guaranteed income replacement during quarantine so they aren’t tempted to lie and work while infected because they can’t afford to not get paid.

  5. Pandemics, market crashes, etc show us just how stupid capitalism (with all of the inequalities it empowers) really is. This crisis would be much, much easier if we all had universal healthcare, tuition free education, internet for all and a UBI.

    It would be easier still if we all had home, business and covered parking rooftop solar arrays, electric vehicles, indoor, outdoor and vertical food gardens in every home, business, school, grocery store, restaurant, public park and land, etc and if more of us studied and worked remotely from home.

    Let’s STOP TRYING TO SAVE CORPORATIONS AND SMALL BUSINESSES with selective bailouts and instead simply put capitalism on hold (mortgages and loans, rent, interest, dividends, late fees, utilities, etc), launch universal healthcare, a UBI, universal education and internet for all! #NoCorporateBailoutsRequired

    #TooFarLeft #StillSandersPlatform
    Education is a good investment from an individual, family, community or national perspective and tuition free education will reduce the burden from the root on our medical expenses too for example.

    Healthcare for all is actually CHEAPER with the insurance industry off of the table along with most of the time lost due to billing among many other reasons.

    A universal basic income (UBI) is CHEAPER than all of the thousands of individual federal, state and local social safety net programs including things like Social Security and unemployment insurance, etc with all of their budgets, overhead expenses and inefficiencies eliminating the humiliating need for people to lose time to prove their poverty to qualify for aid.

    Internet for all is a great and necessary investment to give everyone the opportunity to study, search for work, work remotely, etc online.

    Solar power is CHEAPER and electric vehicles are soon to be CHEAPER to make and already are considerably CHEAPER to maintain and operate, especially if charged from your own solar power.

    What do you think will happen to crime rates, peace and equality in general after we launch universal healthcare, a universal basic income, universal education and internet for all, raising the starting point of capitalism from zero, we’ll let you die with no money, to a level of life with dignity, reducing societal daily fears on a massive scale and freeing us to welcome the automation revolution with open arms rather than with fear and great harm? 😃 #EqualityMovement #BLM

    Call me overly positive, but I think we’re leaving the era of ‘greed is good’ and celebrating wealth and entering an #EraOfAltruism and equality. Let’s #AutomateEverything and #SkipToAbundance.
