If this country was truly āpro-life,ā we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isnāt about ālife.ā Itās about control.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists ā including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Changing the jobs report to be quarterly instead of monthly doesn't solve the problem of needing to wait for revisions. You can do a monthly jobs report 90 days in arrears to solve that if you want. But putting a report out in April for Q1 will still need to be revised. Weirdos.
