“Both sides suck!”

Sure. I hear ya. But if we decide to have another kid, I don’t want my wife to die in childbirth like a fuckin pilgrim. So I voted democrat

They paid an effective federal income tax rate of <5% under the Trump tax law.

When I say this tax law was a giveaway to corporations, this is why.

We've come to a point where every four years this national fever rises up — this hunger for the Saviour, the White Knight, the Man on Horseback — and whoever wins becomes so immensely powerful, like Nixon is now, that when you vote for President today you're talking about giving a man dictatorial power for four years. I think it might be better to have the President sort of like the King of England — or the Queen — and have the real business of the presidency conducted by... a City Manager-type, a Prime Minister, somebody who's directly answerable to Congress, rather than a person who moves all his friends into the White House and does whatever he wants for four years. The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.

Notice how the people suggesting Biden step down because of his age have never suggested that Trump drop out because of his 91 criminal counts, the hundreds of millions of dollars he's lost because of fraud, rape, and defamation, and his attempt to murder congress on 1/6

GE raked in nearly $7 billion in profits in 2023.

Want to guess the federal income tax they paid on those profits?

They paid nothing. In fact, they got a refund of $423 million.

When I say our system is rigged for corporations and the rich, this is what I’m talking about.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?

Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands.

The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023.

Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.

When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.

Doing any simple action with delight looks ritualistic. If you watch a very skilled craftsman at work, or a surgeon, or a good dentist, or a shoemaker, or a potter who thoroughly loves the work, you notice their caressing hands, the delight, the dance they do; to do this thing. The doing of it is more important than the done-ing of it. You see, they look ritualistic in their action. It’s a ceremony, and you think he’s worshiping some kind of a God. That’s because he’s turned the rat race into the mandala. So you can do that with everything if you’re not in a hurry. And you’re not in a hurry if you know there’s nowhere to go! I mean, here’s the end of the line, and there’s a place called death and a tombstone on it that says, “Well, he did it once.” We write his name on the tombstone. That’s the end. That’s where you’re going.

New research shows that corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023.

During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth.

News flash: Corporations used inflation as cover to squeeze more money out of you.
