A better world is possible.
Two books I am currently reading that help me understand how we got to this point. “Reign of Terror” by Spencer Ackerman and “Master Plan” by David Sirota and Jared J Maher.

Discontent with the status quo and the political establishment culminated in a perfect storm in New York City, when Zohran Mamdani beat billionaire-backed Andrew Cuomo to become mayor. The win shows how Democrats might beat Trumpism.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?
