HSA vs FSA is one of the most confusing parts of open enrollment—and choosing wrong can cost you thousands.

When Washington shuts down, it’s not just politics that stall — it’s dinner. Government food programs like SNAP, WIC, and school meals keep millions of children and families fed. When that system falters, states, restaurants, and grassroots groups step in to fill the gap — proving that community care is the nation’s most reliable safety net.

I’m a self-proclaimed socialist who spent $1,111.96 on Amazon Prime Day — and I’m not sorry. Half went to bulk essentials, the rest to gifts and replacements. I plan for it all year with organized wishlists and reward points, proving that even socialists can shop strategically. Because sometimes sticking it to the man means timing your purchases to his sales.

I could use pre-tax dollars for a polluting, traffic-congesting car ride with strangers — but not for a clean, quiet, efficient bike that would get me to work faster, cheaper, and emission-free. That’s not just a policy gap. That’s a disconnect from reality.

Wealth belongs to queer Latinx people too. We’re not just surviving—we’re building families, futures, and financial blueprints that don’t follow the mainstream mold.

Deportations don’t just remove individuals—they pull billions from Social Security, raise taxes, and destabilize families. Undocumented immigrants contribute to the economy, pay into systems they can't access, and help fund programs like Medicare. Their removal hurts everyone’s financial future—including yours.

RFK Jr. just stripped COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy kids and pregnant women—without CDC backing. For low-income families, this isn’t just political theater. It’s a public health setback with a price tag they can’t afford. Expect confusion, increased costs, and a brutal reminder: when policy forgets the poor, kids pay the price.

Beneath the veneer of pronatalism, a closer look reveals a potential agenda rooted in eugenics and control, prioritizing population numbers over individual autonomy and societal equity. This isn't about national prosperity; it feels like a step towards a dystopian future where control trumps care.
