“Kelly Patrick Gerling
The correlations between this list and the overall ranking of nations on the UN Human Development Index are no accident. If the goal of applied MMT is to fulfill public purpose, child care and the well-being of children are important parts of that goal.”

Democrats are worthless co-conspirators to destroying our democracy
“Ferrari-driving megapastor Joel Osteen (worth$50 million) and his tax-exempt “church” repay taxpayers $4.4 million in “emergency” pandemic PPP loans they milked from the government after a massive outcry erupts. Should Joel Osteen and his MegaChurch be forced to pay taxes?”

American Police departments are being privatized:
“Police foundations are a threat to democracy and Black lives.”
“Put simply, corporate-backed police foundations give equipment and money to police departments, funding programs that target and criminalize Black and Brown communities.
You might not know much about police foundations, but you definitely know their sponsors: Verizon, Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon, Bank of America, Target, Delta Airlines, AT&T, Chevron, Uber, and major sports teams, to name just a few.
Corporations should NOT be in the business of policing. Giving private cash to the police enables corruption, conflicts of interest, and police violence. “
“Police budgets are public documents that must be approved by elected officials. In contrast, police foundations are private organizations that fund violent, militarized policing behind closed doors and without public oversight.”
