In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

Parents: Look out for signs of wage theft at your kids' job. Recently, my office received a complaint from a concerned parent of a teen worker at a Reading restaurant. We investigated and recovered thousands in stolen wages. If your kid is denied sick time or minimum wage, we can help.

Cynicism, handwringing, doomerism, & silver-bullet thinking are so exhausting I know we are in a tough spot, but lord, mtgs to wallow in it are a waste of precious energy/time Pick a lane & DRIVE. Do something. ANYTHING. Above all, stop 💩 on folks who are making things - even small ones - happen.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

In the past 6 years, workers have created far more value than they took home in earnings. Employers begrudgingly returned 12% to the workers who created the value, and kept 40% for themselves.
