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?

Are you kidding me? I've made it clear that the way you address me is never going to win me over. So am I just like everyone who disagrees with you, or am I a special, unique case? If it's the former, you aren't going to win. If it's the latter, then there is no "my left" and I'm a total outlier.

I wasn't even talking about incrementalism there. I was talking about specific actions with specific plans rather than a broad, sweeping concept. If you want to sell your sweeping change, it is made up of many parts, each of which has to be a major selling point to the American voter.

I am trying to come up with actual solutions. You're selling a label. An identity. A lifestyle brand. All style, no substance.
