The Lack of Affordable Housing Costs the U.S. Economy $2 Trillion Every Year
In mid-March, when President Biden was still working on his landmark infrastructure package, Bernie Sanders tweeted to support including affordable housing in any legislation.
When we talk about rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, we must include low-income and affordable housing. Today, 500,000 Americans are homeless, and 18 million spend 50% of their incomes on shelter. We can create millions of jobs building ...

Medications are intended to help, but women may be experiencing ill-effects from many of them because of gender imbalances during the testing process, according to a new study.

We all experience sadness from time to time. Some people may describe it as feeling “down” or feeling “blue.” People can feel sad for many reasons, but sadness happens most often after a loss like a breakup or losing your job.

The coronavirus pandemic is hitting everyone hard, but perhaps no one more so than low-income wage earners. Many were already one paycheck away from desperation when the virus hit, and job layoffs and losses have brought some individuals and families to the brink.

In the first days of the reopening in my state of Nevada, I contacted my hairstylist and scored one of her first appointments. As I sat in her chair, we discussed the oddity of home life during the quarantine. “I think that if it weren’t for attraction”, she said, “we would choose our partners very differently.”
She said she missed hanging out with her girlfriends; it was a void that her boyfriend just couldn’t fill. This made me think of a misalignment that’s been occurring in h...

Another day, another tweet. And this time, in a tweet casting blame on the "Fake News Media," President Donald Trump denied calling Meghan Markle "nasty," despite the fact that there’s audio of him using the word while discussing the Duchess of Sussex with a reporter.

It says so much about This Is Us, NBC’s unexplainable hit of a show, that its Twitter icon was this:
If you’re the average American viewer, you probably think the show’s success — it was the fifth-most popular show in 2016 behind three football broadcasts and The Big Bang Theory — is perfectly deserved. About 1.1 million TV watchers agree with you. “It’s so reaaaallll,” they say. “It’s so beauuuuutiful,” yada, yada, yada.
I, on the other hand, am the heartless minority who can’t...
