Hey look! Mexico just got universal healthcare (aka single-payer healthcare, aka Medicare-for-all) for every citizen there.

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason? just a wild country

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Germany and Ukraine have signed a defence cooperation agreement in Berlin.

aside from the shocking! reveal, it really goes to show how much they love getting lied to that the amount she was getting taxed on $11,000 in tips is supposed to cover cancer treatment, the loss of her husband's income, and a few vacations plus an $1,800 car repair in the next post

Watching a William Castle film called Macabre (1958); the female lead bears a striking resemblance to our own Michèle A'Court.

You would think this might concern people 🤷🏻‍♀️

And it was all staged! To... um... make Trump look good?

Weird how apparently we still believe in trickle down theory when it’s farmers.

Brodude Farmerson on the news saying that the massive fonterra payout will be “reinvested” and will “make farmers more resilient”. Remember this the next time there is a drought or cyclone.

Unless someone has a genuine need, no car should be bigger than this.

My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his CEOs so I asked how many CEOs he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new CEO so I said it sounds like he's just feeding CEOs to coyotes and then the chair of the Board started crying. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
