Alex Wagner shares exclusive NBC News reporting on the resignation of two key Florida state health officials who have yet to be replaced as the state is facing the first instances of native malaria transmission in decades and DeSantis has installed a scientifically dubious state surgeon general in a bid to curry favor with the anti-vaccine radicals he hopes will support him over Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary.

Does it make anyone else angry that Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve are trying to "Get Wages Down"? I would ask who these people work for, but that's fairly obvious at this point, and it certainly isn't any of us.

Wages have failed to keep up with the rest of the economy for decades now. The middle class belongs on the Endangered Species List. But paying people a moderately comfortable wage, or even a living wage, would get in the way of maximizing corporate profits.

Late stage capitalism is bad enough without having the government actively trying to make it harder on the average worker. We need to protest these policies!

I cannot personally dedicate the time to moderation, but I do want to be active in this magazine.

However, we are in need of community guidelines and moderators because @ernest is already a very busy person (_greatly appreciate all your work!!_). There are already a few bad faith actors in this community space that are dominating the airwaves with bigotry and reporting them is fairly ineffective right now because there's only one moderator who is actually the instance dev.

Would anyone in this community space like to take over moderation here? Basic requirement: positive reputation score. I think if we talk it out and then reach out to Ernest, he can promote two or three people to moderate.
