Just celebrated Christmas and New Years yesterday (because of scheduling problems) so since I am still in a festive mood I wanted to thank this community for the welcoming companionship that you have no idea that you have given me. I hope that you all stay safe and healthy and enjoy your festivities and look forward to communicating with you in 2024.
While an apt comic representation, the one image I searched for was the sinking of the Senate reconciliation package (the social infrastructure piece) while its two detractors rowed away. I note this particular image because, aside from the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, which Manchin and Sinema also singularly sank, I expect the loss of the former largely explains why the 60% living precariously from paycheck to paycheck, wherein family income typically only is sustained by more people working longer hours, while still weighted down by mortgage debt, credit card debt, car payments, and the like are not responsive to repeated recitations of the Administration’s accomplishments.
Bob from your comment yesterday on the Klatch it sounds like you are reading Prequel. I am too and can relate to your wanting to not go on.. what a mess that was how Berlin was able to get so deep into our system.. ugg
If you were unlucky enough to have traveled through Trump's gut, images of Robert's humor are etched on the walls of his intestinal track. Giving the Orange Guy a reason to have cramps.
Thank you for your sage analyses, informed commentary, and inspirational captionless cartoons and thanks to this community for providing additional context, further information and questions, and captions that capture the humor (often of cruel situations) without inflicting more cruelty.
Scrolling down the page, I was wondering how such a brilliant cartoon....er...economist got all these cartoons on one page in such good order? Then I see that Emmett Tjen helped out. People like Emmett sure make the current world as we know it go 'round. I was also admiring how great a cartoonist Dr. Reich is...notwithstanding some of the other critiques by "experts" below. I look forward to the Sunday cartoons, and also the spot on commentary and views on this blog. Happy New Year to all.
I look forward to your cartoons and captions every week. We need some humor, for sure!

If I was a Republican this would represent 52 ways to leave your lover.

I have derived:
Conservative = "I don't care about you; I care about me."
Long live Robert Reich (and his cartoons)! And best wishes for 2024.

In other words, 2023 was another chaotic year of living dangerously; For America that is...:)
This group, in scroll form, would make nice wall art for my den!
You should turn these into T-Shirts. I bet they’d sell like hotcakes! How about a shower curtain? Thanks for a year of Reich.
