The majority of white women voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
"White women are still voting for the Republican candidate
Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women have voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996."

The government should have been taxing the Corporations that made enormous profits from the surplus value their employees generate and then requiring said Corporations to invest annually in pensions matched to Cost-of-Living indexes.
In the US, instead we got 401ks so the poors are required to cheer the stock market and pretend they're temporarily embarrassed Capitalists, rather than the scornful reality of being wage-slaves.

It's passive language. It should read: So and so announces, Pope Francis has died.

Jerome Powell was *never* going to softly land anything. It was all a smoke screen while they sold stocks and shifted their assets so that the plebes and taxpayers end up holding the bag. As always.
Powell and Yellen should be in prison for the rest of their lives.

I mean, yes, that's certainly part of it, but the other parts are that we (Americans) live among extremely well-financed and equipped (courtesy of military surplus) police forces who are obvious in their zeal to terrorize and extort citizens, while also being insulated by legal buffers like "Qualified Immunity."
In most cities, the police take up 40-50% or more of the budget, and produce essentially zero benefits, but will always be enshrined because they protect the status quo and the top wealth layer's property, and are willing to use force to ensure the most vulnerable are kept fearful and destabilized.
