    President Sanders is signing the $30/hr minimum wage into law as he’s looking towards the end of his second term

    Since public funding of elections, the normal avalanche of TV commercials and social media bullshit is being replaced with a coordinated YouTube, TV, and Insta/TikTok/FB daily release of a video where the main candidates can discuss a rotating list of major or minor issues in a relaxed format with real time fact checking and anyone who just starts yelling like a crazy person or telling random lies sticks out like a sore thumb

    Covid is still a problem, but since the US reacted quickly and decisively we were spared a lot of the worst of the impacts and the resulting science-policy quick response framework is now making some significant progress on climate change. Although there hasn’t been time yet for all the crazy weather to be any different, the heat waves are serving as a firm reminder to everyone of how important it is and is a frequent topic at the mini-debates

    Netanyahu’s last appeal has just been denied

    Ukrainians are still dying but the front line is holding

    Hillary Clinton is still salty that the DNC betrayed her so badly, but as Donna Brazile told her bluntly: Senator, listen. I love you, I want to to win, but at the end of the day it’s up to the voters, and I’m not going to put my foot on the scales for you.

      Fucking hell, that hits hard. I feel like so much of this current shit show can be traced back to the DNC’s full court push of Hillary. Winning against Trump should have been a fucking cake walk, but no, lets do this hard mode.

      🥲 indeed.

      People still were looking for more of the change that Obama campaigned on, and you intervene and force Bernie out for Hillary when Trump’s whole campaign was on radical change? What I wouldn’t give to know the truth behind that fuck up of a decision…

      As a result of the COVID pandemic, people, businesses, and governments have all accepted the value of work from home models. Traffic congestion is still at an all time low and office space is being converted into affordable housing.

      Four day work week has been implemented and has resulted in a boost in production. Surveys show improvements in mental health. People have more time to think critically about their leaders and make educated choices in their lifestyle.
