The Game Changers project offers bold, new ideas to build a stronger, fairer, greener, and more inclusive economy for all Americans
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThe U.S. underinvests in care, treating it as a personal rather than shared responsibility. But universal child care, paid family and medical leave, and a monthly child allowance would transform life for families.
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialSam Altman says we should regulate AI with a “lighter touch” and accept that “bad things” will happen.
But insufficient regulation means more financial risk, and taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill when the AI bubble bursts, notes @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialSocialism for the rich and austerity for the poor, that's the financial system we've built in the United States. Now Crypto and AI companies want even more control, but we have a plan to put power back in the hands of working people.
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialBillionaire tech oligarchs are taking control of our financial system at the cost of our democracy. We cannot bail out crypto and AI companies on the backs of working Americans.

@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThe Iran War is the most recent example of American military policy making us less safe while costing billions. By reining in military spending and taxing the wealthy to pay their fair share, we can fund critical services like universal preschool, infrastructure investments, and medicare for all.
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThe U.S. military budget has dwarfed all others for decades, enriching defense contractors through ill-begotten wars.

@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThe U.S. military budget has dwarfed that of all other countries for decades, enabling a thriving ecosystem of weapons contractors and a quarter-century of ill-begotten wars. But if we want a different future, what are the steps we must take to tame the beast? [THREAD]
@periumass.bsky.socialReposted by @gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThe Trump administration plans to take money from childcare subsidies that primarily benefit single parents to pay parents married to a full-time wage earner to stay home.
@nancyfolbre.bsky.social explains why this is a terrible idea in The Boston Globe: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/25/o...

@gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialRead the Game Changers policy proposal, "The Care Package: Support for Family Care Provision in the U.S." [4/5] peri.umass.edu/publication/...
@gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialLast year, New Mexico announced it would provide free universal child care for children up to age 13. [3/5] sourcenm.com/2025/09/08/n...
@gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialThere is strong public support among voters for policies to support federally funded child care provision and paid family leave. Many politicians running for office right now, like James Talarico in Texas, have included them on their platform. [2/5] www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/p...
@gamechangerspolicy.bsky.socialFor less than a third of Trump's request for a "dream military" budget of $1.5 trillion, we could provide both taxpayer-funded child care and a family allowance/guaranteed income for children eighteen or younger. [THREAD]
