"The other day I watched The Economics of Eating, a film by Jake Marquez and Maren Morgan with Helena Norberg-Hodge...The film is well made, just 18 minutes, and is worthwhile to watch...I still want to offer a friendly critique, or an expansion, of how the film analyses the drivers in the economics of the food system."

The people that died outside in America yesterday #homeless because we wouldn't give them a home deserved a #home, not #affordability. If you can't hear that, then you're just a #murderer. It means you believe in money more than people. Which means you don't believe in a fucking thing.

In the past five years, rents have risen at more than twice the rate of wages. As for pensions and jobless income support? Not even an afterthought by government.

"she said #Democrats needed to dare #Trump to veto some of the party’s popular priorities.
“He claims he wants to lower costs, then let’s put a lot of proposals in front of him,” she said, including raising the federal minimum wage, banning congressional stock trading and banning #AI surveillance pricing, or the practice of using consumer #data to generate personalized prices."

#AffordabilityCrisis - U.S. inflation report highlights strain of rising food, energy and housing costs - The rent is too damn high, forget about buying a house…groceries are through the roof, and the cost of energy; heat, AC, lighting, appliances has most of us rationing. The #economy is the pits right now. But you know who isn’t suffering? The one percent, billionaires, oligarchs, and the Trump family. It’s long past time for the bottom to come for the top. #affordability #inflation #Food #housing #energy #TrumpRegime https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/u-s-inflation-report-highlights-strain-of-rising-food-energy-and-housing-costs

Yeah, NO…The average cost for a new vehicle in the U.S. hits a record high: over $51,000 - I’m old enough to remember my first, self-funded new car (a sports coupe at that) cost $3,600 out the door. Sure, $$ was worth more back in the day, but still…over $50 grand for a car is a heavy lift for most. #Affordability #AffordabilityCrisis #cars #AutomotiveIndustry #inflation https://www.npr.org/2026/11/10/nx-s1-6026659/average-vehicle-price-record-high

Credit card debt climbs to a record $1.29 trillion, New York Fed research finds - desperate cash-strapped consumers turning to credit to make ends meet. A testimony to the profound impact of the #affordability crisis and a red-flag warning about the state of the US Economy. #CreditCard debt rising signals hard times are here to stay. Here’s an idea: maybe not spend $47 billion on an unnecessary and unwelcome war; maybe not send genocidal Israel billions every year; maybe trim the bloated Pentagon military budget; and finally…maybe tax the rich and eliminate corporate subsidies. #economy #debt https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/10/credit-card-debt-record.html
