@colin_dunlap Unfortunately, the billionaire class has met this call for higher taxes as unfair. I feel like they’re concessions resentment will continue to grow. See Homestead strike, but on a larger scale.
@colin_dunlap I was taught that there was a gilded age where a large amount of wealth ended up in the hands of a few in the late 1800s. People began to resent that and discontent rose. In response, the wealthy went to great lengths to repair their image by investing back in their community
@colin_dunlap This all seems to be history, repeating itself, except with insanely higher levels of inequality and power in the hands of a few. I think that’s where the resentment comes from.

GAO issued the first in a series of reports requested by Congress about the use and oversight of assistance to #Ukraine. Our new report looks at DOD’s processes to provide defense articles to Ukraine and whether @DeptofDefense is ensuring those articles arrive.
@clhubes Wait wait- what about the police officer not breaking down the door when they got the call. Police officers love breaking down doors. “Tell ‘em to count their kids again..” ?!?!?
