It seems the real solution is for social workers et al to make a living wage. Increase funding to nonprofits and educational institutions, raise the minimum wage, etc.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

An ad released in 2024 as President Trump campaigned to return to the White House is airing again this weekend with one notable difference: the appearance of the words “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

The SNAP stuff was the part that they allowed to take effect before the midterms. That gives you a sense of just how awful the Medicaid stuff they are holding until after the midterms will be.
