if they got smarter we might actually be doing ok.
Or we could remove the financial incentives in our political system. That’d be a good start and a lot more likely to happen than making people smarter. Let’s not try to change people, let’s instead stop monied interests’ ability to mass manipulate people with fear into voting against their own interests.
Is there a good starter guide?
Similar boat to the person you responded to and tired of feeling impotent.
Right-wing Republicans have grown increasingly unhappy as they have watched government funding keep flowing without cuts or policy changes
Only because the government is spending money on citizens and social programs. They don’t mind the enormous military budget or all the oil, coal, gas, and farm subsidies.
That is precisely why Mike Johnson was picked.
According to Katz, “Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the business plot.”
It’s ok, Prescott wasn’t plotting to overthrow the US with those fringe Nazis, he was too busy working with the real Nazis!

You’re lucky they’re a duck.
ETA: “Well that’s just ducky” would have been better.
This year, however, some attendees and former attendees have expressed frustration with the conference’s stronger association with Trump and his wing of the party.

We can’t wait to find out!
My work let all the contractors know that they can comvert or their contracts will not be renewed again. I know at least one guy that would be taking a 40k pay cut.
I was just hired on along with another guy. We found out that one of our team members who has been with the company for 10 years is making less than the new hires.
Another oddity of the situation: I worked with her in the same department 10 years ago as new hires. I left the company to double my salary and 10 years later came back and was hired at the same salary I had left for (took a pay cut for a better life).
I get so pissed off on her behalf. 8 years of mysoginistic managers screwing her over for raises, and now that she finally has a good manager, his hands are tied to give her a decebt, an deserved, raise or even salary parity with new-hires.
