it’s crazy how the brief release provided by the most minimal possible helps during a literal global pandemic dropped child poverty rates by half (fucked as the definition that’s officially used for that may be)
Remember when they bragged about the accomplishment of cutting childhood poverty rates and then they just let them expire. “We could help you. If we wanted to.”
b-b-b-b-but if you
for harris we might get to have it again uwuLol we need a hostage emoji.
It could double as a John McCain emoji
loosens grip
“See? Look how much I help you breathe.”
closes grip tighter
we did it joe :)
Bidenonics in action
And it was only down in 2021 because of gov subsidies to parents. They could go down to 2021 levels right now if the ruling class would allow it
Bidenomics hard at work keeping the system as it’s supposed to be
That’s bleak. Fuck.
why don’t the children just take out a loan and start a small business then
Now I imagine a little kid with a lemonade stand ruthlessly crushed by the Starbucks across the street selling lemonade at a loss, calling health inspections on them, calling immigration officers, lobbying local politicians about zoning laws and planting stories about high pesticide levels in the “locally squeezed” lemonade.
Yet they’ll spend 1.6 billion on anti-China fascist propaganda
What the hell even is child poverty? Children shouldn’t have to provide for themselves lol
I saw a snippet of NBC or CNN or whatever with their pundits discussing the debate and the pro Kamala guy was like “We are recovering, 16 million new jobs!”. And I just got so angry because these people just blatantly disregard reality. How many of these jobs pay enough to afford rent, food, gas, etc in there area? How many of them provide health insurance that is actually worth a damn? How many of them are permanent and even have benefits?
How many of those jobs are previous high wage full time positions cut into multiple low wage part time jobs, when they quote new job creation it’s almost meaningless
I’m pretty sure a good chunk of companies put these job openings up with no intention on actually ever filing them. Like every fast food place is 2 people per shift now.

Misleading choice of data span.
Child poverty in the US was always above 15%.
