Looking back, the grossest thing I did as a kid was drinking from public water fountains. They were everywhere, especially in schools.
Everyone did it. The thought of doing it now is nauseating.
Guessing Spike Lee has never spoken out on behalf of the Iranian protestors, who are getting murdered, raped, and tortured. This little poser doesn't give a damn about Palestinians or any other Muslim.
But I am certain of his sincerity in disliking Jews. Of that I have no doubt.
Imagine you're hopelessly in debt and sinking rapidly. You're behind on your mortgage, and you owe so much interest on your credit card just the interest is almost your biggest expense. You just can't get a handle on how to keep your spending down.
Then imagine a financial genius takes a liking to you, and he offers, for free, to go line by line and methodically review your finances. He explains that when he is done he will show you how to drastically reduce your spending, and eventually get your financial house in order. There is no obligation to you.
We'd all take him up on that, right? This is how you know any opposition to Elon Musk and the DOGE concept is pure politics. The worst kind of politics.
Maybe it's just me, but if I was running for office in the future, opposing an investigation/reduction of wasteful spending would not be my first campaign theme.
The cure for racial discrimination is not more racial discrimination.
The cure for inflation is not to print more money.
The cure for homelessness is not to give the homeless more free things.
The cure for rioting is not to blame the non-rioters.
The cure for skyrocketing college tuition is not the government loaning students whatever the colleges charge.
🧵In all Western countries, people are dying at much higher rates than the pre-pandemic average, and only a fraction of these deaths are attributable to Covid. More young people are dying today than during the pandemic. What the hell is going on?
A THREAD.

Speaking for those of us who chose not to get our kids vaccinated, and have been proven 100%, undeniably correct:
We were never anti-vax; we were always pro evidence.
There is absolutely nothing humorous or satisfying watching a person develop dementia. It is just sad and disturbing. Your politics should have nothing to do with it. So it was for Reagan, and so it is for Biden.
First they come for the far right conservatives.
Next they come for the mainstream conservatives.
Then they come for the libertarians.
Finally they come for anyone who does not follow the far left company line.
This is not 2021. It is 1984.
