Just letting everyone know I’m reading a book right now. I also drank 7 glasses of water yesterday. Im not saying explicitly that I’m a better person than you, but it is heavily heavily implied. Heaven is going to be awesome!
@PatWodes@SlightlyPlusEV@DKSports MA law now requires the books to tell you why you’ve been limited. Even if it was in the past, and youve been limited for 3+ years (like me).
Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.
Jaxon Dart looked at the unapologetic cruelty and corruption of Trump—his dismal approval numbers, the war, the economy, Epstein, etc.—and said to himself, “This will endear me to the city who just elected Mamdani.”
What a PR fumble.
Jeff Bezos just said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.
And honestly? He may have accidentally exposed the entire scam.
Bezos pointed to a nurse in Queens making roughly $75,000 a year and paying around $12,000 in taxes:
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
Think about how insane this system has become.
A nurse working 12-hour shifts is taxed before she even sees her paycheck while billionaires borrow against appreciating assets, exploit loopholes, and sometimes pay lower effective tax rates than school teachers.
The average American is funding an empire they can barely afford to live in.
Wars.
Interest payments.
Corporate subsidies.
Defense contracts.
Lobbyist wish lists.
Meanwhile the person changing bedpans in Queens gets her paycheck carved up like she’s financing Rome before collapse.
The most dangerous thing Bezos said wasn’t about taxes.
It was admitting out loud that the people carrying the country on their backs are getting crushed while the system tells them it’s “normal.”
There aren’t adequate words to properly express the depth and scale of trump’s corruption, it’s completely on a scale of its own with no historical equivalent to point to.
I simply cannot believe I live in a timeline where journalists helped force the last president out of his reelection campaign for being too old, so the country put an unstable 79 year old who falls asleep constantly in office and none of the same journalists care at all.
