Newsweek Discovers 'Affordability' Depends on Not Freezing
Newsweek reports a 'spike' in overdue utility bills threatens Trump's 'affordability' push. The article conveniently ignores decades of deregulation and corporate profiteering that made utilities less affordable long before any specific 'push.' While families face winter without heat, Congress continues to approve billions in military aid, like the $14.3 billion for Israel sought by the Biden
administration in October 2023. Prioritizing endless wars over keeping citizens’ lights on isn't a glitch; it's the bipartisan operating system. The media frames these domestic crises as isolated hiccups, rather than direct consequences of a political class more invested in global military interventions and corporate subsidies than in the well-being of its own citizens. How many 'affordability
pushes' does it take before we realize the problem isn't the push, but the shove from a system that puts profits and proxy wars over people?
