The price of groceries and rent will never go back down. In one year, they made cost of living go up so much that any raise anyone got at any time in the last 5 years is completely wiped out.

Starting tomorrow, insulin prescriptions will be co-pay capped at $35 a month for seniors.

While it’s a good step, this doesn’t impact younger people or seniors who still can’t afford $35/month.

These are crumbs. Insulin should be free—all healthcare should be free.

Last year Walgreens repeatedly sounded the alarm about shoplifting. But today, a Walgreens exec admitted that they might have “cried too much last year” about theft.

What he didn’t acknowledge is that Walgreens is losing money because of billions in fines, not robbery. 🧵

Here’s an idea: stop subsidizing the massive corporations putting billions of lives at risk!

Billionaire wealth in 1990: $240 billion
Billionaire wealth in 2020: $2.9 trillion
Billionaire wealth in 2021: $4.6 trillion

Meanwhile, 16 million children are food insecure and half a million Americans are sleeping out on the streets.
