━━ ❝ like in every universe , max verstappen is competitive . really competitive . he lives and breathes tennis for as long as you've known him . you don't think you ever had a decent conversation with him about anything except for tennis . it's both endearing and kinda annoying . but the way he looks at you makes you forgive him .

━━ it was in the heat of the 2000s when you met him . daniel ricciardo , one of your longest friends ever , invited you over to watch a match of one of his friend's . you didn't know this friend , surprisingly . he says that he only met him recently and it was via chatroom . you can't imagine meeting someone like that . not when you spent the better half of your childhood with daniel at the back of your chair , whispering jokes to you during class that always made you laugh .

━━ meeting max for the first time was thrilling . erotic . you've never been more captivated by someone in your life . it's safe to say that daniel was experiencing the same whiplash as you . every one of his moves were like a handjob to the both of you . your hands found each other's thighs , gripping it as max dominated the scene . and when he screams , you swear you see daniel's hand move over to cover his crotch . you don't blame him for that . you don't blame him for trying to invite him over to your hotel too .

━━ it was probably dangerous that max came over . because it didn't take long for him to go on your bed , propped on his elbows , looking at the both of you like the two of you knew what to do . daniel wasn't a selfish person , you think you were . you run for his lips and he takes his neck . the memories blur over time but you remembered how max's face twisted into ecstasy when daniel sucked him off . you also vividly remember how the both of them made out in front of you like they starved for each other . you didn't skip out on fucking max verstappen either , loving being under him as he takes the reign . that night must have been the greatest night of your lives .

━━ he asks the both of you to win to get his number . he was young back then , all brattiness and charm falling off of him so naturally . you almost thought that daniel would roll over and let you have it . he didn't though , he beat you at the match and something really changed since then . you were young , dumb , and really fucking dumb . trying to get between them because you missed your friend and you wanted max . it almost seemed inevitable that the two broke it off . you just didn't think it would be because of max's injury . the hospital was the last time you met daniel for a long time . ❞

˖ 🎾 › THE MARRIAGE LIFE ‹𝟹 .ᐟ

⟣ㅤ﹒ㅤ001ㅤ ★ㅤ you never told max how you kept all of your photos of the three of you together , some of them just you and daniel , you keep it in a junk drawer in your storage room , buried beneath piles of random objects max would never take interest in

⟣ㅤ﹒ㅤ002 ★ㅤ he spoke about daniel only once after the incident ; he told you the story how they met . it was way earlier than daniel told you . max was drunk on the outside of a bar and daniel was the one to get him a cab home . both of them were shitfaced drunk but daniel was so protective of max that it just made him sober a little . when they met in a chatroom , he didn’t know who he was . but in the hotel , he has never been more happy to kiss him . you don’t bring up that story again

⟣ㅤ﹒ㅤ003 ★ㅤ when max trains you , he’s careful about it . he doesn’t want to push you , nor does he want to see you lacking . every other day of the week (at the start, it was simply every day) he would watch you play tennis with a machine and comment on your form . and when it’s over , he kisses your cheek telling you that you can do better . but he says it in such a fond way that you just believe he says it out of habit .

⟣ㅤ﹒ㅤ004 ★ㅤ after every match , winner or loser , he treats you for dinner. you for dinner . which is really sweet of him . both of you live on each other's money , mostly from your winnings in your prime . but he's the one to pull out the card every time just to be nice to you . maybe it's because you somewhat blame yourself for the split of him and daniel all those years ago .

⟣ㅤ﹒ㅤ005 ★ㅤ daniel's relationship with the both of you were different . daniel and max had a very physical relationship , and you know about it . days where max would have hickies or limp , daniel having sex hair when he goes to visit you after he visits max . but when it was you and daniel , there was that tension you can never chase off . the longing that you've always wished for all those years when you met him . of course with max , it's not like you can forget how he feels from your touch .

˖ 📷 › GETTING BACK TOGETHER ‹𝟹 .ᐟ

━━ ❝ you met daniel at the parking lot and you almost felt really , really fucking bad for him . you arrived early for the match with max and the both of you saw daniel just sitting at his car eating a sandwhich . both of you ignored him but you knew that he was running around in your heads . something was pulling you guys towards him , and it was awful .

━━ at the heat of the race , when you were giving up , daniel reminds you of something . he puts the ball in the middle of the racket and throws . you stand in shock . because your ex best friend has just admitting to fucking your husband . your husband , cheated on you . what the fuck were you going to say to that ?

━━ you think about all those years ago when you attempted to seperate them . you think about the fight at the hospital . you think about sleepless nights looking at daniel's number on your phone . you think about meeting max for the first time . you think about meeting daniel . suddenly , it's just a passing thought . so what if daniel fucked your husband ? he already did it once and you kinda missed that feeling . you're completely fucked in the head but who cares .

━━ you place the race , both of you know the game and nothing and everything is at stake now . it's a tie at the end , when you end up in his arms and you cry into him . suddenly , it's like everything is fixed . you may have not won a challenger , maybe daniel would win , but it's fixed . max still loves you , you're going to get better , and daniel is back by your side . if the three of you start fucking , who's gonna stop you ? ❞

CATCHING STRAYS ✴︎ LN04

There's a stray child in the McLaren garage, and of course, Lando is the one who has to deal with it.

━━━ 🔗 LN4 MASTERLIST

PAIRING.   Lando Norris x Single Mother!FemReader WORDS.   1k TAGS.   Tooth-rotting Fluff. NOTE.   The cutest thing I've ever written ( yet ). This drabble is about another pairing I had in mind... <33

Likes, comments, reblogs are much appreciated!

Something tugged at Lando’s race suit.

Amid the paddock frenzy, that subtle touch⏤so gentle he first thought he’d imagined it⏤startled him enough to abandon his pre-race ritual.

He looked down.

And found himself nose-to-nose with a pair of big amber eyes.

Lando blinked.

The child blinked back.

“What the—?” he murmured before crouching to her level. “What are you doing here, muppet? Where are your parents?”

She let go of his leg, stuffed her fist into her mouth—long enough for drool to glisten down her chin and wrist—and dropped onto the ground with a soft oomph.

She smacked her lips a few times—undoubtedly mimicking someone—and then clapped her hands, giggling.

“Mama!”

Lando cast a desperate glance around him, but the engineers and mechanics paid him no mind, wholly absorbed in their final adjustments to the car.

“I don’t know where your mama is.”

He ran a hand through his curls as stress began to rise. The girl looked at him with wide, hopeful eyes, only fuelling the tsunami building in his chest.

Of course it had to happen to him.

“Well... what am I supposed to do with you now?”

For a fleeting moment, he considered calling Oscar, who was probably still holed up in his room, but the Aussie driver was just as hopeless in situations like this—if not worse. His mother’s face flashed through his mind, and he suppressed a shiver at the thought of her scolding him.

That’s when he noticed it.

Tucked between the girl’s overalls and t-shirt, a lanyard.

Carefully, Lando pulled it free and let out a sigh of relief when he saw the pass. He flipped it over, softened momentarily at the ID photo, and read the name printed in bold.

“Apolline L/N? Well, at least we know you're not a paddock intruder, muppet.”

She giggled as if she understood him, then tipped forward—still figuring out her balance, clearly. Lando caught her before she hit the ground, muttering a quiet thanks for his fast reflexes.

As he resumed reading, he absentmindedly rubbed her back. Shaken by her near tumble, she had settled her head against his chest, sucking on her thumb.

Apolline L/N VIP ACCESS A guest of: SCUDERIA FERRARI

“Well, I guess your mama’s probably over at Ferrari. What do you say, Apolline?” He leaned back to meet her gaze. “Shall we go for a walk?”

He stood, a child in his arms and tiny fingers clinging to his fireproofs.

Together, they set off.

Eyes lingered on the duo as they passed by. Whispers soon followed. What was Lando Norris doing with a small girl in his arms? Was that his sister? His daughter from a past fling?

He could already imagine the headlines, always eager to twist the narrative. Watching warily as a cameraman aimed his lens at them, he tucked Apolline's head into his neck and tightened his embrace before quickening his pace.

He passed Williams, then Mercedes—ignoring George’s raised eyebrow—and finally stopped in front of the red garage.

The usual Monaco frenzy took on a different flavour here. Lando could almost taste the tension soaked into every inch of the garage.

Ferrari wasn’t swept up in Monaco mania, no; they were drowning in Chaos.

A Charles in full race gear paced, his phone pressed to his ear, while a flustered Alexandra—so far removed from her usual elegance—tried to comfort a woman in tears.

Her sobs drowned out the frantic conversations of the team, whose faces all wore the same expression: that of pure dread.

In his arms, Apolline began to wriggle.

“Mama!”

At the sound, the woman spun around. She tore herself from Alexandra’s arms and ran to Lando.

The latter remained frozen as he took in the woman before him. His eyes darted between her sparkling gaze and her intoxicating mouth. They would have travelled further down—drawn to the delicious lines of her figure in that dress—had she not spoken, brows furrowed.

“May I have my daughter back?”

Her French accent nearly made him faint.

“What? Your daughter… Oh—uh—yeah! Of course!” he stammered. “She’s yours. Right. Obviously.”

Clumsily, he transferred Apolline into her mother’s arms. She hugged the girl tightly before setting her down and checking her over.

“Mon ange! You scared me to death! Don't ever do that again. If you want to go wandering, we’ll go together. Understood?”

The little girl just laughed, unfazed by the turmoil she’d caused, and dashed off into the garage. Lando watched her wrap herself around Alexandra’s legs, and then—

Vanilla.

Lando instinctively hugged the woman back. He buried his nose in her hair and breathed in the sweet scent as his hands tightened on her back.

“Thank you,” she whispered with the kind of gratitude only a mother could convey.

When she stepped back, Lando was already mourning the warmth of her body against his. Flushing, he rubbed the back of his neck to chase the thought away and shrugged.

Control yourself, she has a child.

“It’s nothing. Anyone would’ve done the same.”

“Still. It means a lot.”

She offered her hand.

“I’m Y/N.”

“Lando.”

Alexandra called her over. Y/N gave him a small, apologetic smile—one that did something strange to his chest—and turned to walk away, tossing a final “thank you” over her shoulder.

Lando stayed there, a little dazed.

A throat cleared, breaking the spell.

Fred Vasseur stood in front of him with his arms crossed and one eyebrow raised. Only then did Lando realize half the garage was staring at him.

Knowing he had overstayed his welcome, he turned on his heel and headed back toward the McLaren garage—but not without grabbing Charles by the collar. The Monegasque struggled against his hold before freezing as Lando leaned in and whispered:

“Give me Y/N’s number, or I’m crashing into you at turn one, constructors’ championship be damned.”

Between wanting blonds and someone dark-haired, Lance wanted the latter anyway, Luis said on the phone. You son of a bitch, Fernando had responded before he hung up, but he trusts Luis's judgment.

The cool metal of the knife is back on his skin, the tip barely pressed to his neck, creating a thin steak of blood that flows down to his collarbone and below his crisp white dress shirt.

This was a seasonal Valentino.

“I’m on my best behaviour, unfortunately,” Fernando says, his tone not as dry as Lance expects it to be sometimes lately. “Unfortunately,” Lance mutters, and he catches it then, Fernando’s brow hardening, the tight set of his mouth for a tenth of a second before his face smooths over.

Fernando Alonso has been around for a long, long time. He knows how to play the ruthless First Driver, but now his teammate is the boss's son. He'll just have to get creative.

Kinktober Masterlist!

So first off some housekeeping. Prompts are based off of Nymphare's Kinktober 2024 List. They will range in ratings from G-E(some prompts like first dates don't necessarily need to be explicit imo). I will be swapping between the dead dove and general list. I wont be doing all of them but as it stands I think I have 25... I cut a few to make room for dealers choice which I am excited for to say the least. This list will be updated as I make the posts for each prompt. Anyways lets get to it!

🎃 Day 1: Costumes (General List)

Rating: G Words: 1k Pairing: Minsung Main Tags: First dates, fluff, lots of fluff, sickfic(kinda), Canon comp 🔗: For so Long I Have Waited “Do you remember what today was supposed to be?” Minho asked, gently swaying back and forth. He was all dressed up with nowhere to go in comparison to Jisung’s big ratty tee-shirt and boxers. 

🎃Day 5: Eating Something Sensually (General List)

Rating: E Words: 1.1k Pairing: Minsung Main tags: Blow jobs, canon comp, Minho is a grump, fluff and smut, Banana's 🔗: Ba-Na-Na, Ba-Na-Na "Why don't you come over here and taste the real thing?"

Jisung must’ve noticed, however, as he pulled him into a crushing hug. “You love him don’t you?”

🎃Day 7: Forbidden Love (General List)

Rating: E Words: 4.6k Pairing: Chanlix Main tags: Royalty Au, Angst, Fluff, Smut, Power Imbalance, King Chan, Servant Felix 🔗: Scared to Burn the Page Felix entered the room and stood like a statue until the doors shut. Even after, his demeanor was unusually sheepish. To be fair, a private meeting with the king is rarely ever a good thing. And depending on Felix’s reaction, it hopefully would be a great thing. “Relax,” Chan said, forcing a smile, “I didn't call you here to berate you. Quite the opposite actually.” “Oh,” Felix’s gait grew more confident as he approached the king, “So what am I here for, your majesty.”

🎃Day 8: Watersports/omorashi (DDDNE)

Rating: T Words: 3.1k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Royalty AU, Prince Felix, Guard Chan, Post-break up, arranged marriage, true love conquers all 🔗: Pull Me Close and Twist the Knife Neither was happy about the arrangement. It was clear in the way that Jisu walked down the aisle. Her face drenched in tears of hopeless misery, more falling with each step. Felix, too, was crying as he looked at her with pity. They didn’t want this.

Day 10 (No post)

Day 11: Corruption Kink (DDDNE)

Rating: E Words: 2.6k (chapter 1) Pairing: Minsung Main Tags: Corruption kink, Church Retreat, Jisung is the pastors son, Minho is forced to be there, First times, Blow jobs “Are you ok? You seem down.” 🔗: Maybe Hell Ain't So Bad After All “Just peachy,” His voice was sweet but his lips had curled into a sarcastic snarl, “I was forced to be here so please if you aren't here to fuck me or feed me please leave me alone.” “O-oh okie-dokie then,”

Notes:

cw// Religious guilt, blasphemy, Negative talk about religion, implied homophobia This one has two chapters! Chapter two is coming on the 30th! But they can be read separately! title: If I'm There by Bad Omens

Felix tried to speak but the words kept getting caught in his throat. It didn’t help that Chan was giggling like a drunken fool beside him, “Wait d-did you not see—” “You did see a ghost! I knew this place was haunted!!” Jisung sounded way too excited about that.

🎃Day 12: Subspace/Domspace (General List)

Rating: E Words: 2.1k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Canon Comp, Choking, Sub Felix, Dom Chan, Still somehow fluffy..., Subspace, Doms need reassurance too (Please read all the tags on the fic thoroughly) 🔗: You Always Wanna Run Your Mouth  “Well that worked better than I thought,” Chan chuckled proudly, “Now, open wide.”

Day 13 (No Post)

🎃Day 14: Somno (DDDNE)

Rating: Explicit Words: 2.7K Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Somnophilia, Canon Compliant, Anal sex, Consensual Non-consent but even that is dubious, Angst and Fluff and Smut 🔗: I Don't Believe You When You Tell Me You Are Fine Then there was a comment on reddit he couldn’t get out of his head. “My girlfriend wakes me up with a blowjob every morning. 10/10 would recommend.”

🎃Day 15: Wearing Your Significant Others Clothing (Gen List)

Rating: E Words: 1.5k Pairing: Changjin Main Tags: Canon Compliant, Newlywed dorm, Smut, Frottage, fluffy smut! 🔗: If We Have Each Other “Hey, babe,” Hyunjin leaned inside the steamy bathroom, hanging onto the door frame, “Do you know where my clothes are?” Changbin moved the shower curtain enough to poke his head out. Despite the situation Hyunjin couldn’t help but giggle a little at the ball of white suds on top of Changbin’s head, running down his face, making him look like Santa Claus, “Shouldn’t they be in the bedroom?” “Yes, but I looked already,” Hyunjin whined, “It's not there.”

🎃Day 16: Dealers choice: Blood (DDDNE)

Rating: E Words: 4.4k Pairing: Minsung Main Tags: Blood, Blood as Lube, Violence, Fluff(yes fluff), Smut, Vamp/Human, Purgatory, Supernatural Crossover 🔗: Killed and Born Again His soul was never meant for purgatory. Yes, he was a hunter before he was turned and could survive here, that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that he had to survive here.

Notes:

CW// (It's DDDNE soooo yea) Blood, Vampire bites, Violence, Death The only context readers need to understand this if you haven't read any of the Love is The Death series is as follows: Jisung was a hunter turned vamp and was killed. Minho was a revenant who refused to crossover, but was eventually convinced by Chan and Felix. Chapter one is the smut and Chapter two is the plot for those that care to read it but it's not necessary if you are just here for kinktober lol!

🎃Day 17: Edging (DDDNE)

Rating: E Words: 2.7k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Orgasm Edging, Orgasm denial, Technicaly CNC, Light BDSM, Canon comp, Felix is a stubborn brat CW// Consensual Non Consent (Felix can't say no or he loses the bet) 🔗: Take Me Past The Edge It was a stupid bet. He had been bragging about his stamina compared to Chan’s. A simple teasing remark to rile him up. Quickly it devolved into a competition and of course Felix felt the need to prove himself.

🎃Day 18: Praise Kink (General List)

Rating: E Words: 1.7k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Praise kink, Canon comp, Unintentional Arousal, Chan is oblivious to what he's done, Hand Jobs, Cum swallowing, PWP 🔗: I am a Good Boy With a deep breath he tried again. It wasn’t much better in his opinion. “Loosen up a bit, shake it out! Your voice is beautiful, just project it a bit more forward on this next take, babe,” Felix could hear the smile in Chan’s voice, making him blush. Another take and Felix waited for feedback. It was taking a bit which put him on edge, “Mmhm, just like that,” with Chan’s voice over the intercom the anxiety lifted, “Let’s move on to the intro and first verse next, that was gorgeous Lix. Beautiful.” 

🎃Day 19: Love At First Sight (General List)

Rating: T Words: 1.5k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Mutual Pining, Not actually unrequited love, very light angst, FLUFF(yes in caps you think I'm gonna get love at first sight and not make it fluffy as fuck) 🔗: We Were Just Kids When We Fell In Love Seven years later “So let me get this straight, so you're telling me you have been in love with Felix from day one? He doesn’t know! AND you aren’t planning on telling him?!”

🎃Day 20: Will You Marry Me?

Rating: G Words: 1.6k Pairing: Changjin Main Tags: Fluff, marriage proposals, some humor, Canon Comp 🔗: I Love You and That's All I Really Know  “You are going to what? Repeat that, please!” Chan stared back at Changbin with wide-eyed excitement. Jisung too was bouncing in his seat waiting for him to answer. “I am going to ask Hyunjin to marry me,” Changbin sighed, the relief of getting this massive secret off of his chest was immense. “When?! How?! I need all the details!” Jisung squealed back in excitement.

🎃Day 22: Kissing All of Them

Rating: T Words: 9k (7 chapters) Pairing: Felix-centric Polyskz Main Tags: Fluff, First kisses, poly skz, getting together, light angst, Canon Comp 🔗: Every Kiss Gets a Little Sweeter  “I’ve never kissed anyone,” The alcohol had melted through Felix’s brain to mouth filter, he meant to say yes but the overwhelming insecurity hit him like a truck. “Wait,” Jisung rolled to the side and stared up at the ceiling in confusion, “You have three sexy ass boyfriends and you haven’t kissed any of them? Not even Chan?! Didn’t you ever play spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven? What did you do in school, study?!”

🎃Day 23: Aphrodisiacs

Rating: E Words: 2.4k Pairing: Chanlix Main Tags: Smut, canon comp, desperately horny, fluff(its chanlix its gonna still be sweet) 🔗: Fuck Me! No, Really Fuck Me! “How many did you eat?!” Jisung seemed exceedingly worried as he slammed the door behind them. “I dunno, like a handful? Were they special or something?” “I swear to god you keep this between me, you and Chan. Me and Minho take one after concerts before we head home… they have a mix of things that uhhhh spice things up.” “So they make you horny? That’s what's happening to me?” It made sense but this was way more intense than just a bit of extra spice.

How Feeding America Can Strengthen Its Social Media Impact

Ethan Curtis

Prof. Susi

Social Media Communication

April 5th, 2025

In our fast-paced digital age, having a strong online presence is just as important for nonprofits as their on the ground efforts. Feeding America, one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the U.S., is already doing a fantastic job raising awareness, sharing inspiring stories, and rallying support through social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), YouTube, and TikTok. However, there's always room to grow, and the first step is taking a closer look at their vanity metrics.

Evaluating the Vanity Metrics

Let’s take a look at their current stats:

Instagram: ~240K followers, but average engagement seems a bit low with many posts getting under 1K likes. Video views vary quite a bit.

Facebook: ~1.2M followers. Posts often receive between 500 and 2,000 likes, while video views range from 3K to 10K, which meets the 3-second view benchmark.

Twitter (X): ~400K followers, with retweets and likes generally on the lower end, often in the low hundreds.

YouTube: Over 30K subscribers, but videos usually average about 1 to 5K views, which seems low given the production quality.

TikTok: Fewer than 50K followers, but videos typically get between 5K and 10K views, with some storytelling clips going viral.

These figures are decent but indicate that while Feeding America’s content is viewed, it’s not always interacted with—this is a common issue with vanity metrics.

How the Brand Can Improve the Metrics

To enhance performance, Feeding America might want to try:

Creating more platform-specific content. Trends on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are ideal for getting noticed. Each platform thrives on native content designed specifically for its audience.

Using stronger CTAs (Calls to Action). Encouraging followers to share stories, use hashtags, or tag others can help boost engagement.

Increasing community interaction. Responding to comments and resharing user-generated content can foster a more engaged community.

Telling consistent stories. Their most impactful content showcases personal stories about food insecurity, which should be a priority.

Additionally, going live more often could greatly impact engagement. Instagram and Facebook Lives, especially when tied to events or behind-the-scenes looks, provide real-time interaction opportunities.

Suggested Metrics to Track (Beyond Vanity)

Let’s think strategically. Vanity metrics only scratch the surface—genuine insights come from deeper analytics. Here’s what Feeding America could monitor:

Instagram:

Advanced Metric: Engagement rate per post (total likes + comments ÷ reach).

Channel Metric: Follower growth over time (month-to-month changes).

Behavioral Metric: Tap-throughs on story links or donation buttons.

YouTube:

Advanced Metric: Average view duration (are viewers watching full videos or dropping off midway?).

Channel Metric: Subscriber conversion rate (how many views lead to subscriptions?).

Behavioral Metric: Click-through rate on end-screen cards that direct to donation or volunteer pages.

By tracking these metrics, Feeding America can gain insights into not just how many people are watching, but what actions they take afterward—that’s where the true potential of social media lies.

Feeding America’s mission is incredibly important, and their digital presence could wield as much influence as their on-the-ground efforts. With more customized content and thorough metric analysis, they have the opportunity to transform their followers into long-term advocates. If their aim is to feed more individuals, a fortified digital strategy might just help nourish the future as well.

California could lead the way in the fight for a higher minimum wage as an $18 minimum wage ballot initiative could be placed on the November ballot for citizen voting, but only if we pressure Gov. Gavin Newsom enough to put it on the ballot in the first place. In total, California workers could see a total pay raises around $6,000 annually, with an estimated total of over $62 billion going to workers instead of corporations. Cenk Uygur and David Shuster discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live Sign the petition to help get $18 minimum wage California's November ballot HERE: https://tyt.com/petitions/caminimumwage Read more HERE: https://thehustle.co/americas-favorite-family-outings-are-increasingly-out-of-reach/ "Earlier this summer, Steven Martinez made a promise to his two young kids: He’d finally take them to Disneyland, the “happiest place on Earth.” But Martinez, a customer service specialist in Los Angeles, didn’t feel the magic when he saw the price tag. “Just for one day in the park and one night at the hotel, we were looking at over $1k and that didn’t even include food,” he says. “I had to explain to the kids that Mickey was out of Daddy’s budget.” Most families across the country can relate. In the 1950s and ’60s — the so-called Golden Age of American capitalism — family outings were within the realm of affordability for most median income earners. Many blue-collar workers could afford new homes and cars and still take their kids to Disneyland." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
