If you've ever wondered to yourself:

Why the #US can easily fund the military, but can't seem to fund #healthcare

or why we can just make more money to bail out the banks but we can't lift people out of poverty

or maybe you've wondered why we can't just print more money

I'm here to tell you, we can, but our #politicians are either ignorant of how the #economy works or willfully using it for political gain.

You should read (or listen!) to The #Deficit Myth.

When LA was stripped of its beloved streetcar in the 1960s, the city was quickly thrust into a traffic-clogged world of private cars and diesel buses. But with the involvement of automobile and oil companies, was this the work of a conspiracy?

An update to the “United lost my wife’s luggage saga”

In the last episode, we left off with our traveler filing a claim with United. it has been three weeks now.

Approximately a week ago, my wife decided to take action since We’ve not heard a peep from United. You see, there was an AirTag in the bag, and it hasn’t moved this whole time. It’s in the bottom of what appears to be a mixed use building.
