Listening to Rep bemoun yesterday's election it strikes me how much they admire Trump's power and wealth. These people deserve a dictator.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

I'm concerned by State Farm’s unfair and arbitrary insurance rate hike on Illinois homeowners. These increases are predicated on catastrophe loss numbers inconsistent with Illinois DOI’s analysis, indicating State Farm is shifting out-of-state costs onto homeowners here.

We need more of this but made more palatable for the public. Keen links the rise in inflation to the increase in wages and private debt and not to the increase in public debt. This would explain why technological advances witnessed so far have failed to lead to deflation.
