The fact of the matter is that investigative journalism can only happen because of leakers who take great risks.

    After the ProPublica investigation was released, Republicans called for investigation into how the documents were leaked, while progressives used the data to call for a reform in the tax code

      I’m about 40 years past giving politicians credit for what they say. It doesn’t matter what they say when they don’t do anything practical to make meaningful change.

          Yep.

          Remember when they promised $2000 checks in exchange for victory in Georgia? Then after they got elected they claimed that they actually meant $2000 total, and only sent $1400, since $600 in aid had been sent previously.

          Fucking snakes.

            And then ‘inflation’ on the basket of goods jumped like 200% because every corporation used the supply chain disruption as an excuse to jack up prices and suppress wages.

            I sure hope the boomers didn’t want grandkids, because I don’t see it happening in my lifetime, let alone theirs.

              You’re not wrong.

              This heretorfore unimaginable impoverishment of the poor and middle class is going to have disastrous effects on population growth.

    Ah! The US! The land where the magnitude of the crime and punishment are decided by how much it offends the super rich! Show that the rich don’t pay their fair share? Maximum punishment to be made an example of. Storm the capitol building? Token imprisonment. Gave out dangerously wrong blood test results in the process of defrauding investors? Imprisonment for just defrauding the investors.

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
