JOBS JOBS JOBS: Oregon old-growth logging: Trump plan could clear 3 sq. miles a week, critics warn

My latest fucking statement: “You may notice an increase in your insurance premium. PEMCO has had to raise rates to cover the costs of claims. These costs include increases due to inflation, supply chain disruption, medical treatment, and labor expenses. “

I just couldn’t afford it”: Driving uninsured

Zoe, a pastry chef in Pennsylvania, understands the importance of car insurance better than most. A few years ago, she had only the bare minimum insurance on her Toyota when an accident financially devastated her. Without insurance that would replace her undrivable vehicle, she was left carless, with an hourlong commute. Her savings were entirely wiped out.

When she was able to replace her vehicle, she made sure to get full-coverage insurance at $230 a month. But it was a tight squeeze to cover it, and then her rent increased by $400.

We’re only using Zoe’s first name because, for a short time after that, she became one of those people driving without insurance. “I fully didn’t pay my car insurance bill for about four weeks just because I couldn’t afford it,” Zoe says. “We have to eat every week. You have to pay the power and the water bill and the rent, and the rent keeps going higher, and milk’s $4 a gallon.”

Zoe was acutely aware of the risks she was taking if she were to get in a crash or pulled over. “I slow down at every single intersection, regardless of whether the light was green or not,” she recalls with a heavy sigh. “I’m careful at every turn. I get worried.”

On average, premiums are up 55% since February 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (Almost all of that increase came between 2022 and 2024.)

“It would be fine if Israel took it all.”

— Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel

By “all”, he means all the currencies, banks, AI, education, medicine, the lot of it, not just the Middle “Oil” East.

That wasn’t a fringe extremist preacher on a late-night cable show. That was the official representative of the United States to Israel – a man whose job is to shape and articulate American policy towards a state which depends on the United States for weapons, diplomatic cover, and political backing.

Seven Years Ago:

“Tucker Carlson’s latest rant on Rep. Ilhan Omar is a dangerous escalation of his anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric. These remarks are part of a clear pattern of racism, sexism and white nationalism that Carlson has long championed.

On his show, Carlson repeated one false, anti-Muslim trope after another about Omar, saying that she ‘hates’ America multiple times and invoking ‘dangerous’ immigration from places ‘whose values are simply antithetical to ours.’ This is not a critique of Omar’s ideas or politics. This is hate speech directed at her as a Muslim and as an immigrant.

Attacks on mosques and hate crimes against Muslims have skyrocketed in recent years and these bigoted tropes contribute to a toxic culture where divisiveness and racism trump American values of religious freedom for all people. This is not the first time Carlson has shown such naked bigotry on his show and it won’t be the last as long as Fox gives him a platform.

Fox News should fire Tucker Carlson and advertisers should stop funding this bigotry immediately.”

Fuck these cunts. The lot of them with Podcasts and Alt Media presence! Reality hurts!

The high costs of being poor in America: Stress, pain, and worry

My father, a pediatrician at Johns Hopkins, published an article in 1974 entitled “The High Cost of Being Poor,” showing that poor urban Peruvians paid more for water and electricity than the rich. The poor paid roughly 15 times more per unit cost, even though the services were of much lower quality. Unlike the affluent, who had water and electricity piped into their homes, they had to buy their water from trucks, and often had to substitute candles and kerosene for electricity. Small wonder the lower-income children had worse health and poorer nutrition.

Today, those same urban slums where he (and later I) conducted research have water, electricity, paved streets, and a growing middle class population; infant malnutrition is virtually non-existent (if anything, obesity incidence is becoming a concern). But here in the United States, poverty is exacting a high cost—not in terms of water and power, but in terms of stress, unhappiness, and pain.

Peru’s capital city Lima is home to more than 10 million people, which is almost a third of the 33 million people who live in the country. Meanwhile, the second largest city in Peru, Arequipa, has just one-tenth of the population size of Lima, highlighting disproportionate overpopulation in the capital. The fact that such a large proportion of the country lives in the capital city has exacerbated inequality in Peru, as rural areas mostly miss out on government programs that aim to boost development. Also, the focus remains on the urban hotspot because governments view this as the best way for the country to improve its economic status through trade and other economic activities.

In the 20^th century, the population of Lima exploded, particularly after the Second World War when inward migration to the city picked up as people searched for better opportunities and living conditions. Reports suggest that Lima’s population will continue to grow to almost 13 million by 2035.

Rising Inequality in Peru

Whilst there has been a reduction of poverty overall in Peru, with poverty rates falling from 59% to 20% between 2004 and 2019. In addition, the majority of this development took place in the urban areas of Peru, especially Lima, allowing rural areas to fall behind and inequality levels to grow. In 2022, the poverty rate in Peru was 25%, as a result of a rise from the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, in 2021, more than half of the country’s population was living in moderate food insecurity where the available food lacked all the necessary nutrients for a healthy life. This resulted in increasing cases of health conditions such as anemia.

Rural areas remain the home of the poorest regions in Peru, where there is a lack of opportunities to help civilians rise out of poverty. Inequality in Peru is evident through the level of schooling in years, which in Lima is double compared to the level in the country’s most deprived rural areas.

In recent decades, the world has seen rising inequality, with 2023 being labeled by the World Bank as “the year of inequality.” An increasing share of income and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, leaving a shrinking portion for the majority, which includes a massive pocket of poverty. According to the United Nations, “More than two thirds of the world’s population today live in countries where inequality has grown.” Yet, beyond the data, how do those affected actually experience this inequality? A recent survey by the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos and OXFAM sought answers from Peruvians, collecting responses from a nationwide sample of 1,508 interviews.

Peru ranks as the fourth most unequal country globally, according to available analyses. The IEP-OXFAM survey found that half of respondents (51%) perceived the country as highly economically unequal. Meanwhile, a quarter (27%) believed it was “not very unequal,” and 7% astonishingly claimed it was “not unequal at all”—with this latter view most common among the poorest respondents.

Resignation appears to hold sway among the poor, who seem to blame themselves for their circumstances, believing they remain in poverty due to a lack of effort. This perspective stands far from creating an environment ripe for revolution or even social upheaval. The focus on “entrepreneurship” seems to have defused the threat to social order that poverty once posed.

This apparent acceptance of inequality, labeled in the survey as “tolerance of inequality,” became evident when respondents were asked, “To what extent is inequality acceptable in Peru?” Half (51%) found it “unacceptable,” while 30% considered it “acceptable,” with the rest choosing neither option. Inequality rejection was higher among the upper strata (61%) and lower among the poor (48%).

Interestingly, this “tolerance” does not overlook power disparities. Two-thirds (67%) agreed that “The rich have too much influence over decisions affecting the country,” and 90% believed that “The country is governed by a few powerful groups for their own benefit.” As for potential solutions, 31% said that to achieve “a more equal country,” Peru needs “a fairer State.” Other answers garnered lower support. Additionally, respondents suggested that increased tax revenue should primarily fund education (32%) and healthcare (28%).

Versus:

In 2023, the latest Peruvian fuck told a congressional debate about ending child marriage that “early sexual relations aid a woman’s psychological future.”

Peru that year passed a legal reform to ban marriage for anyone under 18. Previously, teenagers could get married with their parents’ consent.

The CNDDHH rights coalition expressed concern Thursday at the appointment “of an authority figure with a controversial public record and statements that justify sexual violence against girls.”

The Flora Tristan Peruvian Women’s Center, for its part, said the choice was emblematic of a “profound ethical and democratic crisis” in Peru — where more than half of women reported being a victim of psychological, physical or sexual abuse by a partner, according to government statistics.

“Anyone who minimizes violence against women and girls is not voicing an isolated opinion, but revealing a complacent attitude toward abuse,” the center said in a statement.

83-year-old Jose Maria Balcazar as Peru’s stand-in president . . . Prosecutors in Peru are investigating a sex-for-votes scandal in the country’s Congress after uncovering an alleged prostitution ring inside the widely-loathed chamber.

The investigation began after hired killers fired more than 40 rounds into a taxi carrying Andrea Vidal, a 27-year-old lawyer who worked in Congress, earlier this month in Lima. She died of her injuries in an intensive care ward on Tuesday. The taxi driver was also killed in the attack.

The public prosecutor’s office subsequently opened an investigation into Vidal’s former boss, Congress’s former lead legal and constitutional adviser, Jorge Torres Saravia, who is accused of sexual exploitation for allegedly running a prostitution ring that hired young women to have sex with lawmakers in exchange for votes. Torres has denied any wrongdoing.

Back to the requim of an American Dream (every Third World Country’s nightmare) \

The American Dream is Now a Repossessed Asset by Tee Ashby

Let me walk you through what this actually looks like.

It’s 11 at night. A woman in her 50s is sitting in a Honda Civic outside a 24-hour grocery store. Engine off. Windows cracked. She’s just hoping tonight isn’t the night security knocks. This isn’t someone who gave up. This is someone who worked for 40 years and discovered that doing everything right was a lie. Because here’s the truth nobody wants to admit: most people living in vehicles aren’t there because they screwed up. They’re there because the math—rigged by policy choices in Washington—stopped adding up.

And before you smugly tell yourself it could never happen to you, let’s walk through what actually changed.

There’s a convenient fairy tale that people in vehicles are lazy, that they made bad choices. Let’s kill that lie right now. Americans didn’t suddenly get lazy. What happened is far simpler and far more terrifying: there are no affordable places to live anymore. In big cities, the rental vacancy rate has plummeted to 2.8%. Imagine a parking garage with 100 spots. Only three are open. That’s the American rental market. And when supply is choked off—a direct result of prioritizing corporate investment over human shelter—prices only go one way. Between 2020 and 2025, rent exploded by 31%. A basic one-bedroom—four walls and a door that locks—now costs $1,800 to $2,400 a month.

When those numbers exceed what millions of people actually earn, what do you think happens next? The poor fall first. Then working families. Then the middle class who just hit one bump in the road: a lost job, a medical bill, a divorce, a broken car. If there were any apartments, you’d stumble, dust yourself off, and recover. There’d be room to breathe. But when there’s nothing, you fall straight through. No safety net. No second chance. The system made sure of that.

And that’s when a car stops being transportation and becomes a coffin-sized shelter. Not because anyone wants to, but because every other door was deliberately slammed shut.

America doesn’t have a compassion problem. America has a housing problem—a direct result of a government that spends trillions on war and Wall Street while letting the basic infrastructure of life rot. We want to believe homelessness is a moral failing. But what we’re watching is basic economics, deliberately distorted by bad policy, breaking down. By 2026, people aren’t just getting forced onto the streets; they’re getting forced into their cars.

Now, you might think, “At least living in a car is cheaper.” Wrong. Living in a vehicle isn’t free; it’s just a different kind of financial torture. And by 2026, those costs have been jacked up too. A propane canister for heat used to cost $18. Now it’s $35. And you’re refilling it every few days. People aren’t paying rent; they’re paying to not freeze to death. Gas prices soar, turning your shelter into a meter that’s constantly running. Every mile you drive to avoid a ticket is money disappearing. And then the vehicle breaks down—because they always do when you live in them 24/7. A $2,500 repair bill on a car that’s also your home is a death sentence. So you see vehicles just sitting there, not moving. It’s not because the people are lazy. It’s because they literally cannot afford to fix the one thing keeping them alive.

Here’s the brutal truth: even being homeless got more expensive. Everything costs more. What you bring in stays the same. And when winter shows up, you’re not asking how cold it will get. You’re asking, “Am I going to survive this?”

But even if you somehow manage the costs, the cities themselves have become the enemy.

One thing that the historical record makes obviously clear is that Adam Smith and his laissez-faire buddies were a bunch of closet-case statists, who needed brutal government policies to whip the English peasantry into a good capitalistic workforce willing to accept wage slavery.

Francis Hutcheson, from whom Adam Smith learned all about the virtue of natural liberty, wrote:

”it is the one great design of civil laws to strengthen by political sanctions the several laws of nature. … The populace needs to be taught, and engaged by laws, into the best methods of managing their own affairs and exercising mechanic art.”

You want more? Adam Smith’s proto-capitalist colleagues were complaining and whining about how peasants are too independent and comfortable to be properly exploited, and trying to figure out how to force them to accept a life of wage slavery.

This pamphlet from the time captures the general attitude towards successful, self-sufficient peasant farmers:

The possession of a cow or two, with a hog, and a few geese, naturally exalts the peasant. . . . In sauntering after his cattle, he acquires a habit of indolence. Quarter, half, and occasionally whole days, are imperceptibly lost. Day labour becomes disgusting; the aversion in- creases by indulgence. And at length the sale of a half-fed calf, or hog, furnishes the means of adding intemperance to idleness.

While another pamphleteer wrote:

Nor can I conceive a greater curse upon a body of people, than to be thrown upon a spot of land, where the productions for subsistence and food were, in great measure, spontaneous, and the climate required or admitted little care for raiment or covering.

John Bellers, a Quaker “philanthropist” and economic thinker, saw independent peasants as a hindrance to his plan of forcing poor people into prison-factories, where they would live, wor,k and produce a profit of 45% for aristocratic owners:

“Our Forests and great Commons (make the Poor that are upon them too much like the Indians) being a hindrance to Industry, and are Nurseries of Idleness and Insolence.”

Daniel Defoe, the novelist and trader, noted that in the Scottish Highlands, “people were extremely well furnished with provisions. … venison exceedingly plentiful, and at all seasons, young or old, which they kill with their guns whenever they find it.’’

To Thomas Pennant, a botanist, this self-sufficiency was ruining a perfectly good peasant population:

“The manners of the native Highlanders may be expressed in these words: indolent to a high degree, unless roused to war, or any animating amusement.”

If having a full belly and productive land was the problem, then the solution to whipping these lazy bums into shape was obvious: kick ‘em off the land and let ‘em starve.

Arthur Young, a popular writer and economic thinker respected by John Stuart Mill, wrote in 1771: “Everyone but an idiot knows that the lower classes must be kept poor, or they will never be industrious.” Sir William Temple, a politician and Jonathan Swift’s boss, agreed, and suggested that food be taxed as much as possible to prevent the working class from a life of “sloth and debauchery.”

Temple also advocated putting four-year-old kids to work in the factories, writing ‘‘for by these means, we hope that the rising generation will be so habituated to constant employment that it would at length prove agreeable and entertaining to them.’’ Some thought that four was already too old.

“John Locke, often seen as a philosopher of liberty, called for the commencement of work at the ripe age of three.”

Child labor also excited Defoe, who was joyed at the prospect that “children after four or five years of age…could every one earn their own bread.’’ But that’s getting off topic…

Even David Hume, that great humanist, hailed poverty and hunger as positive experiences for the lower classes, and even blamed the “poverty” of France on its good weather and fertile soil:

“‘Tis always observed, in years of scarcity, if it be not extreme, that the poor labour more, and really live better.”

Reverend Joseph Townsend believed that restricting food was the way to go:

“[Direct] legal constraint [to labor] . . . is attended with too much trouble, violence, and noise, . . . whereas hunger is not only a peaceable, silent, unremitted pressure, but as the most natural motive to industry, it calls forth the most powerful exertions. . . . Hunger will tame the fiercest animals, it will teach decency and civility, obedience and subjugation to the most brutish, the most obstinate, and the most perverse.”

Patrick Colquhoun, a merchant who set up England’s first private “preventative police“ force to prevent dock workers from supplementing their meager wages with stolen goods, provided what may be the most lucid explanation of how hunger and poverty correlate to productivity and wealth creation:

Poverty is that state and condition in society where the individual has no surplus labour in store, or, in other words, no property or means of subsistence but what is derived from the constant exercise of industry in the various occupations of life. Poverty is therefore a most necessary and indispensable ingredient in society, without which nations and communities could not exist in a state of civilization. It is the lot of man. It is the source of wealth, since without poverty, there could be no labour; there could be no riches, no refinement, no comfort, and no benefit to those who may be possessed of wealth.

Colquhoun’s summary is so on the money, it has to be repeated. Because what was true for English peasants is still just as true for us:

“Poverty is therefore a most necessary and indispensable ingredient in society…It is the source of wealth, since without poverty, there could be no labour; there could be no riches, no refinement, no comfort, and no benefit to those who may be possessed of wealth.”

The color guard’s appearance came two days after the Pentagon received scrutiny for platforming controversial pastor Doug Wilson during its monthly Christian prayer service.

Wilson, who shared a podium with Hegseth, in the past has made questionable remarks about discouraging women to vote, whether slavery was justified, and that he would “be more than happy to work with” the label as a Christian nationalist.

The White House defended Wilson’s appearance after the fact, as did Hegseth himself in social media posts. Also on Thursday, Hegseth defended the prayer service as a whole, saying the “left wing shrieks, which means we’re right over the target.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is urging broadcasters to air more “patriotic, pro-America” content in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

In a statement issued on Friday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr described the “Pledge America Campaign” as a way for broadcasters to align themselves with the Salute to America 250 Task Force, the group created by President Trump to oversee the 250th anniversary celebrations at the federal level.

Carr said the country’s broadcasters should use their national reach and ability to inform and entertain audiences by upping programming that “celebrates the American journey and inspires its citizens by highlighting the historic accomplishments of this great nation from our founding through the Trump Administration today.”
