Chemist - Berry College ‘20 - Vol for Life
MAHA is not winning, it’s whining. They’re just yelling at experts while sipping organic juice full of misinformation. They scream about “chemicals,” but forget that water is a chemical. They rant about “toxins,” but can’t define one. They distrust every institution - except…
As of today the federal minimum wage has now been $7.25 for 16 years.
90 and humid in Tennessee is much worse than a 105 dry heat in Arizona. The South’s heat is the worst you’ll feel.
Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Some people should have read-only access to the internet.
Tourism from Canada is down. The President’s actions and rhetoric are alienating one of our strongest allies, and our tourism-dependent businesses are suffering as a result.
Scott Scheffler realized golf isn’t as important as he used to think. As a result he is … better at golf. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
We’ll know America is healthy again when: Science is boring again. Because it’s trusted, not politicized. Doctors and teachers aren’t treated like enemies. Vaccines are celebrated for saving lives not framed as conspiracies. Food isn’t fear-marketed as “chemical-free” but…

The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage: $15,080 The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States: $17,340 We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.
Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill. Red states are likely to see the biggest increases. Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.
