Belle of the Ranch informs us here about consumer confidence hitting the lowest level since the last month of Trump’s first term, with the index number at about 92.9 I believe; we learn about other indicators telling us that we’re likely heading for a recession (I keep remembering all of the caterwauling about that when Biden was president and it didn’t happen, but now that Cantaloupe Capone is wreaking havoc, yeah, that appears to be what’s coming)...
..and Kyle Kulinski lets us know about red states rolling back child labor law, including in Flori-DUUUH!, where a bill in that state’s legislature would allow 14-year-olds to work overnight shifts...and no, I can’t believe I’m typing those words either...great point by Kyle to note the double standard of allowing kids to work in dangerous facilities at all hours on the one hand while, on the other hand, banning books in the name of “protecting kids”...and boy, is Kyle ever right about not treating corporate criminals the way they should be treated...and a 283% increase in child labor violations since 2015? What country am I living in again?? (NSFW/H)...
...well, to make a positive change in The Sunshine State tomorrow, vote for Josh Weil in the FL-06 special election...
...along with Gay Valimont in FL-01...
...and Robert Reich informs us that Our Ochre Abomination seems to have given up on making groceries cheaper...can’t believe anyone is actually shocked by that after all this...what #47 is trying to hide, of course, is doing his best to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, leading to a record amount of stock buybacks for company executives (and once again, that practice used to be illegal until The Sainted Ronnie R came along)...also, those beyond-wretched tariffs with Canada and Mexico in particular will ensure grocery prices continue to rise, along with mergers and acquisitions on steroids...and oh yeah, let’s not forget about Yambo’s barbaric deportation of immigrants; aside from what this means from the perspective of human rights, there’s also the economic impact to consider...
...and did you know that, according to Bronzer Beelzebub, we’ve had “two perfect months”?? Does he have any brain matter at all?? And the Signal app mess is a “glitch”? Sounds like a feature instead of a bug to me (and dear God, we’ve got another 3 ½ plus years of this garbage to endure...Rachel Maddow covers a lot of the utter madness that has transpired to date, leading off with the Signal app "cluster"...oh, but this should have happened because Biden looked lost and confused in a presidential debate, amirite?)...
...and Jesse Dollemore tells us that Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence wants the Smithsonian to remove black history and culture; I mean, he has no say in what the Smithsonian does...what an utter clod, and I definitely don’t mean Jesse...yeah, #47 isn’t a racist, is he? Not much he isn’t...and good for Jesse to call out the AP; it was indeed MURDER, AP...don’t try to sanitize what Derek Chauvin was convicted of (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and here is a nice upbeat little ditty to listen to while we rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic as the iceberg approaches (I had a long tune on Friday, so I guess it makes sense to have a short one here – and this is a timely related item).
