When I worked at Planned Parenthood, I had to open the mail in an airtight room so that if one of the envelopes contained anthrax I'd be the only person to die
George W. Bush and Donald Trump both lost the popular vote and appointed five of these judges who will shape American life (and, on climate, life on Earth) for decades. Some democracy.
I keep wondering what the endgame is of making it too expensive to live. If you can’t own a house and can’t pay rent, how can society function? Even more mass incarceration and prison slave labor? Or are they literally unable to see past their quarterly profits?
Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.
