An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.” This is where we get the 'sibling.' And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.” Over time, it came to mean "close friend." Now it is something we share w/ close friends... 'gossip.'

If you are unemployed you get this level of service. Everyone gets it. Australian taxes start at about $20,000 per year. Under that is nothing. We have a 10% tax on all goods and services. Called GST , same as VAT. You can buy private health insurance but not sure why. I don't.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...
Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”
