Imagine you WALK to, because there was money to build schools everywhere, and the same for HEALTH (incl medical) care?

Easy! Just cut corporations off from the tit.

"Global subsidies for fossil fuels reached $7 trillion in 2022, an all-time high, according to the . An analysis of policies in 170 countries found that explicit subsidies, such as price caps on fuel, accounted for 18 percent of this total." e360.yale.edu/digest/fossil-fu

The False Promise of Small Nuclear Reactors

Ralph is joined by M.V. Ramana, professor at the “School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia,” to lay out the false promise of small nuclear reactors, which still carry the risk of accidents, still produce waste, still produce plutonium for the weapons industry and are still economically noncompetitive with wind and solar.

This One Company Controls America’s Entire Health Care System

youtube.com/watch?v=frr4wuvAB6

Why are so many doctors being forced to take out payday loans to make ends meet? Trying to answer this question led us to a giant monopoly that's been slowly plundering every part of our health care system.

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars

youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-

Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.

Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.

One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”

The Oil Industry Makes Its Own Rules in Canada’s Tar Sands

jacobin.com/2023/07/alberta-ta

An oil refinery processing tar sands crude without permits for over two decades showcases Alberta’s need for regulation. But with the Trudeau Liberals’ history of giving Big Oil no-strings-attached cash, it’s doubtful that the cavalry is coming anytime soon.

Corporate Welfare, yet another example.

Found in "Vegas stadium deal stalls in Legislature", today. The Nevada legislature failed to vote on a bill that would allocate "up to $380 million in public funds" for a new stadium in Las Vegas for the current Oakland A's. The deal is far from dead. The governor could call a special session to take up the bill.

Corporate Welfare highlights:
- $180 million tax credits from the state.
- $120 million bonds issued by the county.
- $25 million in infrastructure costs paid by the county.
- Ballpark site exempt from property taxes for 30 years.

Be crystal clear:
@POTUS @TheDemocrats are on vs @GOP
All Biden & Dems want is for billionaires & corporations to pay their fair share with modest increases in taxes & end
@GOP wants to SLASH all programs to hurt US: Medicare, SS & Vet's Benefits & Families

@GottaLaff Maybe we should start holding the media to the standards we hold . Everyone who reads something published by a big media company should have to take a to see if the media informed them of anything useful, and if their audiences do poorly on the test then we take away any the publishers' copyrights and any other

The administration cares so deeply about that you can now only get the tax credit if you buy an American brand. Because is good for the doncha know.

Dislaimer: I work for a subsidiary of an American car company that makes EVs and will personally benefit from this.
