A family member posted this and if you have any advice on combatting it I'd love to hear them.

A screenshot of a Bible highlighting Deuteronomy 28:43 which to paraphrase says that foreigners will come in and take everything from you and eventually rule over you.

this thread tho

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

Britain was a country powered by coal. Now it’s the first G-7 nation to quit it. The coal age is over in the country that sparked the industrial revolution 200 years ago.

U.K., home of the industrial revolution, shuts its last coal-fired power plant

Britain was a country powered by coal. Now it’s the first G-7 nation to quit it. In a matter of hours, the boilers at the Ratcliffe plant will cool to the touch.

And we're living through a political era in which reactionaries are doing everything they can to fight green energy and reestablish the old status quos.

YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU- *me, checks lecture notes* I definitely told you. YOUR TEXTBOOK LEFT OUT- Me: It is on page 37 and again on 54. HISTORIANS NEVER ADMIT- Me: Look will you just admit already that you slept through class?

The indirect benefits of free lunches

Screenshot of a tweet taken from yet another social network but summarize that it is a note to summarize a quote of a quote here a paper from the National Bureau of economic research showing a result that free lunch programs reduce the amount that parents spend at grocery stores which makes grocery stores cut their prices because demand is down and so everyone in the area gets lower grocery prices

It is incredibly hard to estimate the effects of laws on mental health, but this is a well-designed effort in an excellent journal. The findings, that anti-trans law lead to worse mental health and suicide attempts, should be taken seriously. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Since value is socially constructed, yeah, what he's saying is when you have something it's worthless, so I can take it from you, because you can't fight enough to make it have value in the eyes of the state. Reminds me of how fortnite made a sh!t ton of money on dance moves created by others.
