The most important political task in America is clawing back wealth from the very rich. The most important ballot measure in America is the California billionaire tax. Oligarchy is at the front door. Time to stop fucking around. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-war-ag...

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

it’s also really fucking hard to get into most trades. Fewer than 50% of kids go to college in my town and lots of them want to get into the trades. It’s super hard to get on that track. If you do sure it’s great but half of them end up working at Walmart

Note the pro-corporate columnists pushing the trades never say how much these allegedly great jobs actually earn Even these $5k incentives she lists are spread “over multiple years”
theatlantic.com
Demand has gone up while supply has gone down. The blue-collar workforce has been aging out and into retirement; the Trump administration has throttled the number of
roofers and welders coming in from abroad.
Companies are begging young people to get into the trades. A design-build firm in St.
Louis is offering to pay off the loans its trainees might have taken out for community college or trade school; an industrial consortium in Rochester is offering $5,000 incentives to future carpenters, bricklayers, drywall finishers, and machine operators. The federal government is trying to get more young people into blue-collar work too, increasing financing for vocational degrees and allowing Pell Grants to cover short-term training initiatives.
