Bernie Sanders explains how the government is ran by lobbyists:
“Everybody knows you have a government dominated by big money interests.”
“Do you know how many lobbyists there are in Washington, D.C. representing the big drug companies? 1800.”
“So there are 100 members of the Senate and 435 members of the House so 535 total, and you got 1800 lobbyists. Well-paid, former leaders of the Democratic Party and leaders of the Republican Party.”
“If your question is it government that tells them what to do or they tell what the government to do more, it’s the latter tells the government what to do. Very powerful.”
It’s no secret that money runs politics. Since the decision of Citizens United, our politics has been spiraling out of control with our politicians being bought and owned by big corporations. This does not mean that money didn’t have influence before, but never even close to the extent that it does now.
The American experiment is built on politicians representing its constituents, not their corporate donors. The more we normalize the corporate take over of DC, the more we stray from what America stands for.
Until we find a way to get money out of politics, little to nothing will change.
When did @AmericanAir become such a trash heap of a dumpster fire? Been traveling since before I came out my mother's womb & had The Worst travel day with American. Cancelled Flights, Gate & Terminal changes galore. STILL waiting on luggage days later.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY!!👇🏾👇🏾
A lot of people are shocked by some of the headlines stating “Black Friday shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion in U.S. online sales, up 7.5% from last year”
But this is a perfect example of how the media can be misleading
But don’t worry.. I paid attention in economics class, and study media literacy… so you didn’t have to!
Everyone saw that stores were empty, deals were not dealing, and inflation has been kicking our butt all year
So let’s talk about the real numbers
So the TOTAL increase in ALL sales for Black Friday 2023 is only 2.5%
The article is saying that the portion of the sales that are online, increased by 7.5%… NOT THE TOTAL SALES
(None of these numbers are adjusted to inflation btw)
Inflation is around 3.2%…
So if TOTAL sales increased 2.5%… but inflation is 3.2%… then that means there was actually a LOSS on Black Friday
Because our dollars and purchasing power holds LESS value than they did in 2022
It’s also important to note that the amount of sales made through a buy now, pay later program has increased by 47%
They may want us to believe our economy is in better shape than what it is… but companies and individuals are feeling the shift right now
So few finance books pay attention to tipped workers or fluctuating incomes. So good seeing this!!!

The hug that saved a life In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle's vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine.
Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.
Manifesting. Shape Shifting.
Re-Inventing Myself... Again.
The Government nor Big Pharma are my employers.
GOD is my employer. Period.

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

"...I felt like ppl were using my image to denounce, defame and demean other women...some ppl, who have their own agendas and are respectability politicians may have been misled into thinking I covered to be an example of what's proper...I didn't like that"
