Some snips:
The Consumer protection board announced new changes to allow collection agencies to bother people 40 times a week - and for the debts of dead relatives?
Federal reserve announced change in policy to put more money into the economy to allow inflation to take place and prices to rise at a time when the people have the least capacity to respond.
Stock market - now disconnected on the real economy and completely dependent on the Federal Reserve or Treasury - an endless supply of free money. The corporations are using the money to buy back stock and creating a bubble.
Because neither Democrats or Republicans are discussing a federal jobs program to address mounting unemployment.
Political parties not functioning in the goal to stop the killing of Black people and neither are the unions and working class people are seeking their own ways of addressing the pressing concerns. NBA as an example when the players boycotted.
