Getting poorer while working harder: The 'cliff effect'

quote [ This complicated and frustrating challenge is just one symptom of an overarching problem. In addition to boosting wages, it will take major policy changes, like making child care more universally available and affordable, to offset the skyrocketing costs of living for American workers. ]

Is it getting hot or what?

The thing of it is that browbeating recalcitrants actually is the only strategy that works in the long term. This lame capitulant compromise never gets anywhere. The only time the left actually makes progress is when it's willing to scream at people until they either fuck off and get out of the way, or get with the program.

Obamacare was an attempt to buy out the insurance industry. It was a massive failure, because it's opponents where never interested in compromise. Grow a fucking spine, rip their throats out and leave them in the dustbin of history. That's what they're trying to do to you.
