normally shown through various wage or wealth graphs, but I’m going to show
two graphs of a different nature. The first, to the right, is the number of
strikes involving more than 1K workers. Fascinating, eh?
The second, below and to your left, is the incarceration rate. It isn’t

The Republican party has made the decline and fall of liberalism its goal for a century and a half.
