Earth Day: NOT a debate

"They’re (Not) All Bad"

“Both sides are the same” has become one of the most repeated phrases in modern politics, but does it actually hold up when tested?

And when full-time work isn’t enough to get by, the cost doesn’t disappear, it shows up somewhere else, and the bill gets passed around. So who are we really hurting by holding the floor down?
